Introduction To Leadership
Leadership in a workplace is essential to success. The right leadership can
help to put a company’s vision and business plan into action, as well as
motivate other employees and demonstrate passion and drive. These traits are not inherently gender-specific - instead, they are qualities that may be inherent in a person but will be cultivated and developed over time. This can be seen in many great leaders who begin with a desire to share their knowledge and ideas, and accrue a following thanks to their great leadership style.
While men and women often have different styles of leadership and display varying traits and qualities, the important core characteristics are shared across all excellent leaders.
With all this in mind, you may be asking yourself how many women in
leadership roles you know - and realising that the balance between male
and female leaders is often quite unequal. However, women in leadership can bring a range of incredible experiences and knowledge - and we have
collected eight reasons why we need more female leaders.
