I am very fortunate to be in the position I'm in. The biggest challenge I had was skepticism—that I wasn't able to do my job and that I wasn't able to lead men in this organization—but I'm a firm believer in situational leadership, whether we're in a family setting, on a job site in the field, or in my position or your position. We each take leadership.... When we have to make decisions, we make our decisions, and that's situational leadership.
I believe that if we're able to demonstrate consistency and integrity, and if we're able to prove we're willing to do what we ask of others, then we as women can be successful and we can gain acceptance.
