Women in Leadership Positions, Opportunities and Challenges

Authors:
Rashida Abdul-Rahman

Abstract

In order to accomplish organizational objectives, leaders work with subordinates to influence their behavior. This process is known as leadership. Organizational leaders and their leadership philosophies are largely responsible for organizations' success in achieving their goals and objectives throughout the world. Choosing the right leaders and leadership philosophies can have an impact on workers' dedication, job happiness, and output. Even though gender equality is a topic of discussion in the twenty-first century, women are still underrepresented in senior leadership and management roles in businesses worldwide. There is a strong professional argument for having a diverse mix of genders in senior and executive roles within contemporary companies. Research indicates that businesses with the best records for elevating women outperform their rivals in terms of profitability across the board. However, it seems doubtful that women are not achieving high-level positions. This is confirmed by an analysis of recent data on women in the workforce, research on the connection between gender diversity in senior management and business performance, and literature on gender behavioral differences in the workplace. The gender and salary disparity that still exists between men and women in senior leadership roles is examined in this article. It goes on to address several solutions that could be used to handle this situation.
