Powell selectively shows his weaknesses and vulnerabilities (Goffee & Jones, 2000)? The answer is no. It will provide a heartfelt story that most women can relate to. Mrs. Powell plays on women's emotions and uses them to her advantage. Another question that arose. Can Ms. Powell rely on intuition to judge the appropriate time and course of her actions (Goffee & Jones, 2000)? The answer is yes and no. Yes, he can do this when he's on stage and doesn't have a memorized script to recite, and no because he relies on pre-written pitches such as his heartfelt story and specific information distributed to senior sales managers and above. Furthermore, one might wonder whether Ms. Powell can actually manage people with strong empathy. The answer to this implicit question is no. Mrs. Powell is too self-absorbed to feel anything for another person. She'll try to feign empathy, but she's all about "what's in it for me." The final differentiation a leader needs to answer the question posed in Goffee and Jones' (2000) article is the ability to reveal differences. Mrs. Powell is unable to reveal her uniqueness because she tends to feel inferior and weak. She doesn't want anyone to perceive her as anything other than a success. Because Ms. Powell has difficulty distinguishing herself as a leader, she may not be the best leader of a team or group. However, her ability to achieve purposeful results has sustained her as a Mary Kay for many years
