Research on female leaders

	ELITES Research

ELITES research on female leaders is based on data from more than 300 male and female executives, director level to CEO. We compared personality characteristics and coworker-rated leadership and management styles of male and female managers.

Research questions:

Are men actually better leaders than women?
Or are women's interpersonal, management and leadership styles better suited to the leadership
challenges of the 21 Century?
Are specific elements of women’s management and leadership styles helping to create the glass ceiling?

Summary of research findings:

Women are significantly better managers and leaders than men
On coworker feedback, women scored better than men on 38 of the 47 measured management and leadership dimensions
