Females and leadership - conclusions
 

 
What does all this mean to female managers?
  • Women often have better management skills than men
  • Women's leadership style is often more motivating and inspirational
  • However, women contribute to their own inability to break through the glass ceiling in subtle ways stemming from both personality attributes and learned management styles
Self-awareness, combined with focused mentoring and coaching, can help women to push through the glass ceiling.
 
Further progress up the corporate ladder will require women to:
  • Start taking risks, focusing their energy, and letting go of the details
  • Continue to communicate, develop and motivate staff, and lead by example
  • Stop getting mired in the details, rescuing and mothering, and wearing their hearts on their sleeves
