Women can be effective leaders; there are studies and real life application of that statement. The common beliefs found in society about the effectiveness of female leaders are completely unacceptable, and lacks any proof. Women need to have a bigger role in the professional environment, meaning higher-level managerial positions and effective polices to promote equal rights to promotions.
Women need to realize the expectations that peers and subordinates hold them too. If these expectations are not respected or breached, the leaders’ ability will become hindered. Equal respect and democratic leadership will enhance the leaders appeal, effectively increasing the ability of the group to accomplish goals. With gender education will come increased awareness and understanding of society’s pressures on gender expectations. This awareness will also decrease the negative feedback and will help eliminate the gap between perception and actual level of competency women face in the workplace. These ideals will need to be reinforced by policies and empowerment provided by male peers. With the enhanced understanding by both sexes, the workplace will become an equal opportunity for each individual to accomplish career goals and ambitions.
