Even though women, for example, may favor a more laissez-faire type of leadership style than men (Eagly, Johannesen-Schmidt & Van Engen), this does not mean that they will do so in all circumstances, or indeed that all female leaders will have this tendency.

Workplace Diversity "The benefits of diversity cannot be achieved with isolated interventions.
