Elizabeth I of England: Managing a Team of Men

Paul Vanderbroeck

Chapter 4 in Leadership Strategies for Women, 2014, pp 45-68 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Elizabeth I—celebrated for saving England from the Spanish Armada in 1588—is universally recognized for being the virgin queen who refused to marry, for the cultural refinement of the Elizabethan era of which Shakespeare is but one example, and for being the nemesis of Mary Queen of Scots. However, this enigmatic queen also laid the foundation for the unique combination of entrepreneurship and insularity that would allow Great Britain over time to grow into a world power. She was masterful at leveraging her difference as a woman in a professional environment full of men, highly skilled at communicating her message to create a followership, and competent at giving feedback at different levels and in a way that was both clear and easy to digest—just to mention a few of her impressive leadership attributes.
