The Influence of Gender on Leadership

Abstract

The topic of leadership style based on gender differences has attracted considerable interest from both academicians and practitioners in the past few years. The link between leadership and gender has been debated and is still under scrutiny. This research aims to discuss the existing gender stereotypic expectation that “men are better leaders than women,” examining the barriers women face in their career growth and how to advance gender equality in leadership. Various aspects of gender differences in leadership styles are thoroughly discussed.
