"I don't agree with all-male leaderships. Men cannot be left to run things on their own. I think it's a thoroughly bad thing to have a men-only leadership"

About this Quote
Harriet Harman is expressing her opinion that all-male leaderships are not helpful. She believes that males should not be left to run things on their own, and that it is a bad thing to have a men-only leadership. She is suggesting that a more varied management is required, with both men and women in positions of power. This is because she thinks that males and females have different viewpoints and experiences, which both ought to be represented in leadership roles. She is likewise suggesting that men-only leaderships can cause a lack of understanding of the requirements of women, and can cause choices that are not in the very best interests of everyone. By having a more diverse leadership, she thinks that decisions can be made that are more inclusive and useful to all.

"It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership"
"Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership"
