2. Until recently , leadership positions have predominantly been held by men
who were therefore stereotyped to be more effective leaders.
However , the current research shows that women are becoming more
prevalent in the workforce over the past two decades , especially in
management and leadership positions.
3. Women believe that perceptions or
stereotypes of their leadership aptitude
remain largely unchanged.
They claim that negative and misleading
stereotypes about their leadership ability
persist and commonly results in
discrimination.
4. The masculine stereotypes portray men as being
naturally endowed with the necessary qualities for
leadership.
Evidence suggests that women are not so fortunate.
Studies show that in many countries around the world,
stereotypically feminine qualities are generally not the
qualities that come to mind when people think of
successful leaders.
Women exhibiting the same behaviors as men are judged
less favorably than men.
5. Corporations today face an alarming gender gap in leadership.
Countless stories in the popular press reinforce misperceptions of
women leaders by speculating about how they are different from
men. These stories ″sell″ because they resonate with popular
beliefs about women and men.
As a result , they often create false perceptions that women
leaders just don′t measure up to men in important ways.
6. Male leaders have weaker skills than they
think. Men tend to focus on execution and
neglect the people side of the business.
Many of us tend to believe that men are
born to rule the world but behind every
successful man is a strong woman.
