Female leaders, why are they so rare?

According to the study of Adams and Yones, men and women have the same abilities to be good leaders. But why do women only control a small part of the important positions in the business world? And what indicates a good leader?

Dr Radovic concluded that women are a fast-growing segment of the business community worldwide. Nowadays the characteristics of being a good successful leader are very feminine. One of these characteristics is the fact that women solve problems in a different way. The strategy of women is based on family patterns, e.g.: they will think more holistic than men and solve their problems accordingly.

Despite women having the abilities to be good leaders, a lot of men still think women shouldn’t occupy important positions. It’s a pitty for them because more and more women are entering the business world.
