"vets of the third wave". She rem-
inisced about the first wave to
strive for equality, the women in
England and Canada whose actions
at the beginning of this century
got women the vote. The second
wave was epitomized by "Rosie
the riveter", as women involved in
the war effort in the forties discov-
ered their talents. The third wave
swept in during the late sixties, as
women recognized their own lead-
ership abilities, and attained access
to some power and authority.
Once the vote had been attained,
both women and American blacks
wanted power and position. Dur-
ing this transition, blacks tried to
look and behave like whites, and
women sought to emulate men in
dress, speech, and behaviour pat-
terns.
In the late seventies, Roots made
blacks aware of their distinctive
culture and history. Women now
realize individuality should be en-
couraged; they as women and
teachets can bring something
unique and special to the leadership
role.
Hewett went on to describe the
many facets of leadership. Some
load simply by the way they con-
duct their own lives. Others run
headlong at the walls blocking
their path, while a third group
quietly . chip away. Still others
hand over the chisel, give others a
footstool to get them higher up the
wall, and support .and encourage
their efforts.
Hewitt pointed out that men and
women have different ways of ar-
riving at solutions. One workshop
she attended distinguished between
the spiral speech patterns of wom-
en and the more direct male pattern.
In a turnaround, the Harvard Busi-
ness Review recently stated that the
female method of reaching a consen-
sus and getting cooperation was su-
perior, and men were encouraged to
learn from female patterns
"We must stop apologizing for
not always doing things the same
way. Leaders must stop looking for
clones of themselves, stop looking
for people who 'do it like the guys
do', stop believing that is the right
way. In education particularly we
have to be very aware that people
are multi -faceted. In today's world
we need as many kinds of opinions,
as many ways of coming at things,
as possible", Hewitt said.
The well-known London principal
went on to define winners, calling
them the inspiring people in our
lives. Not all arc in positions of
authority and, conversely, holding
such a position doesn't necessarily
make one a winner. The essence of
‘a winner comes from the inside out.
She disagreed with one definition
she had heard, that a winner was
someone of importance on one's
board, whether o liked that person
or not, and $troy urged her lis-
teners to remain true to their princi-
ples.
"It's a great feeling to accomplish
your goals without compromising",
she remarked, adding a biblical para-
phrase "What shall it profit a wom-
an if she gains a directorship and
loses her own soul."
• In stressing the vital importance
of integrity, Hewitt listed -the five
marks of true success as peace of
mind, health and energy, loving re-
lationships, financial freedom, and
pursuit of worthy goals and ideals.
Hewitt challenged the teachers to
think ahead to what they would like
to see accomplished in the next 70
years.
"There is a need for all of us to
have dreams and visions and goals,
and a need for all of us to make a
commitment", Hewett concluded.
