Gender-Leader Association and Qualities
From the data, it is evident that I have a "moderate association of Male with Career and Female with Family as compared to Female with Career and Male with Family." For this, the interpretation is described as an 'association between Female and Family' because I was faster when the names were classified as Males names with Career words, and Female names with Family words. To me, work has always been important, and I enjoy working with individuals of both sexes. The results of the questionnaire shocked me as I was expecting to have a strong association with Female and Family and Male and Career (Northouse, 2016). Nonetheless, I learned the importance of formulating a personal leadership philosophy, which looks at exercising civic responsibility. Therefore, as a leader, I need to take action and engage others in making positive differences for the common good. This philosophy has helped in making me meet all the responsibilities assigned to me in an ethical way and thus, I have been efficient and competitive in my work area.
The surprising questionnaire results were related to whether my parents were working near or outside the home during my primary and secondary level of education. I did not see the connection between the two,...
This can either be a choice of being congruent and or incongruent. As per my observation, it is expected that Females and Family are much attached compared to Males and Family. Moreover, Males and Career are inseparable just like Females and Family. Thus, the categorization of leadership will help in modeling organizational excellence because they are linked to each other.
Gender differences affect women positively because they have been seen to make better androgynous leaders. It is true that there exist differences in leadership styles, but for women, they have better communication styles that have helped them become more expressive compared to their male counterparts. Therefore, I motivate creativity and innovation among my team members, and this leadership style suits the public good. Therefore, the differences have overlapping distributions of men and women, which implies that the existing differences are small. Female leaders adopt a democratic and participative style of leadership compared to their male counterparts who adopt the top-down (command and control) style. Women employ the transformational leadership style while men use…

Most conclusions on this approach were vague or indecisive in terms of social, psychological or mental significance (Rice, 1978, 1981; Graen et al., 1972; Ashour, 1973). Furthermore, over the years, many scholars have come to the realization that leadership is situational and hence there are many realistic settings like the environment, the employees, the resources, etc. that determine the characteristics needed in a leader as well as his/her business approach

The research will include teachers and educators from all levels of the educational system from grade school to high school. The study will also include teachers and
Role of Women in Leadership Leadership is a role that has been male-dominated for centuries, as a result of the patriarchal society in which the West has been situated. However, with the advent of the women's movement in the 19th century, the role of women in leadership began to expand. Women abolitionists came to the fore, women suffragists emerged, women's rights advocates surfaced and finally the Feminist Movement under leaders
Thus, in comparison to King's leadership style of pacifism and quiet strength, Powell's is a style involving the characteristics of confrontation, sacrifice of personal desires for the best interest of the groups, and confidence in the leader. While Powell's leadership style does not make him a better leader than King, it certainly exemplifies the fact that leadership styles must change based on circumstance. King's quiet strength gained him the
In the first instance, the research undertaken on this topic has attempted to be as inclusive as possible. To this end databases such as Ebscohost and Quesia were consulted for up-to-date sources and data. However the research was also limited to the ideas and objectives suggested in chapter one. The following review is indicative of the some of the most important studies within the parameter of the central questions
Yet women with similar or comparable education and experience or achievement still earn less than men in work organizations. A missing link or the absent ingredient, between performance and a just payoff, was identified as women's own ability to comfortably and consistently draw the attention they deserve to the contributions they made or gave. Findings of a study conducted on 322 male and female executives showed that women were
