The great woman of England - Margaret Thatcher - had a significant impact on the course of world history, doing everything in her power to end the Cold War between the USSR and the USA in the second half of the 20th century. - an undeclared war between the superpowers, capable of leading mankind to disproportionately more tragic consequences than the Second World War, which broke out in the 40s. Researchers of the life and work of the only female head of government in the history of England unanimously argue that the basis of Margaret Thatcher's success (photo presented in the article) was her special approach to solving state problems, her unique management style.
At the origins of "Thatcherism" - a fundamentally new management philosophy
On October 13, 1925, in the birthplace of the great scientist Isaac Newton, in the small English town of Grantham, a little girl was born, named Margaret.
Identity formationthe future premiere took place with the active participation of her father Alfred Roberts. He was a grocery store owner and not a very successful businessman, but he was a naturally gifted person. Apparently, this circumstance allowed Roberts to fulfill the duties of a Protestant Methodist, and a little later - to hold the post of mayor of Grantham. Having only a primary education, he constantly sought to increase his knowledge base, read a lot and actively introduced his talented youngest daughter, the future Margaret Thatcher, to the same.
The biography of "the strongest woman in Europe" contains information about her first successes in her school years. These include, in particular, the memories of the headmaster of a girls' school about Maggie Roberts' remarkable oratorical skills. In addition, she studied well, participated in poetry competitions and sports. According to biographers, her father raised Margaret in the style of a super-winner, a leader. Alfred Roberts taught his daughter to lead the crowd, and not to follow her, not to be afraid to show individuality. The girl aspired to continue her education at the best college in Oxford, but there was not enough money for education. The right to a scholarship was given only by an impeccable knowledge of Latin, the study of which the future Baroness Margaret Thatcher spent four whole years, depriving herself of the usual childhood joys that her peers indulged in.
While studying at college, the girl gained experience in participating in political debates, and she determined her place in politics during her studies at Oxford University, joining the Conservative Association.
The formation of Margaret Thatcher's management style was significantly influenced by the fact that before starting a political career, the young woman was a professional research scientist. Therefore, in management activities, she always paid tribute to scrupulous study and analysis of the processes taking place in the economy, politics and public life.
The woman who headed the British government for a long time, called the Iron Lady by Soviet journalists, died on April 8, 2013. The questions that arose during the controversy, which did not subside during the life of the great Margaret Thatcher, remain relevant after her death. These are questions concerning the peculiarities of the managerial style, as well as the reforms carried out by the imperious prime minister, which turned the country, which was on the verge of collapse in 1979, into an economically developed power with a noticeably strengthened position in the world space already in 1990.
