一番新しいNewsweekに、WOMEN&LEADERSHIPという特集が組まれていて、そこに日本の最も有名な女性の政治家、小池百合子さんの記事があって、結構参考になると思ったので載せます！
彼女のクールビズのこととかなんかいろいろ書いてあります。
もしよければ買ってみるといいかも。
ほかにも小池さんを含め12人の世界的にリーダーとして活躍している女性へのインタビューや、日本の政治や経済のシステムを分析し、批判している記事もあって結構おもしろいです！
There aren't many female role models, not in japan
Yuriko Koike, former cabinet minister, Japan
I faced a big challenge as environment minister. Global warming is an important issue, but it's also abstract. My way of doing things (as a leader) is to break down that good cause into a specific goal. I told people that we needed to save energy and that we were going to do it by turing down the air conditioning in summer and the heater in winter. So that it wouldn't become unbearable, we relaxed tge traditional strict requirements for officewear. That's how Cool Biz was born. The reaction was fantastic. I realised then that it's about getting people to participate, to share a feeling that is immediate in their own lives.
As a leader, you need to make clear what you stand for, where you are heading and what you are trying achieve and by when. I was able to accomplish a majoy job with a limited budget with this approach-that is, to reduce a huge problem to the level where ordinary people work every day. Having a shared goal and a sense that we are in this together enhances people's motivation.
Oddly enough, that harked back to an experimence I had as a college student in Cairo. I didn't have much in the way od resources back then, so I had to find some part-time work. I ended up working as a tour guide. I would take Japanese tourists to see the sights. I realised that i needed to show them the sights in a way that inspired them, made them realise they had seen something. When I became defense minister, I was the first woman to hold the job. I faced several big tasks that included reaffirming our relationship to the United States and boosting the motivation of our people. I realised you couldn't make policy in the same old way as the men had done before me. It's an institution with 270,000 people.
So i decided to make a change in management style. Before I became the minister, it was a 20th-century-style ministry. It was all about tanks and planes and machines. A modern defense policy in our country has to be more about taking care of people who are doing the job, and more about oaying attention to personnel issues, to quality of life, as a way of improving motivation. In this way, I was attempting to achieve a paradigm shift as a female leader.
Yes, men still have a lot of say in Japan, but it's interesting how often the fact I am a woman can actually help me. Of course, the fact we have more women in politics nowadays can help. When I was a national-security adviser, one of my key jobs was strengthening the alliance with the United States. And it was particularly interesting to be doing this at a time when one of the partners on the other side, Condoleezza Rice, also happened to be a woman.
Perhaps it's a peculiarity of the Japanese situation, but I cannot say there are alot of female role models for women of my generation in Japan. There was a pathbreaking health minister, Masa Nakayama, who's kind of a hero to me, Outside of Japan, one of my biggest heroes is Margaret Thatcher. You can sum her up in a single word: determination. She's the one who said, "I'm more interested in conviction than in consensus." That's an attitude that I admire.
最近アイルランドの新聞とかには小池さん、よく出てきます。この間は男女差別に関しての記事で小池さんの意見？みたいなのが１ページ丸々つかってありました。

ぜひ時間があったら本屋さんで立ち読みでもなんでも良いのでのぞいてみてください★
