Abstract
For the last 25 years, leadership scholars and commentators
have argued that there is a difference between the ‘typical’
leadership styles of men and women (e.g. Vinkenburg, Eagly, &
Johannesen-Schmidt, 2011). There is also a popular perception
that differences in leadership style make one gender more suitable
than the other for particular leadership roles. For example,
male leadership is regularly characterised as "command and
control", whereas female leadership is deemed "facilitative and
collaborative" (Sanchez-Hucles & Davis, 2010, p. 173). Consequently,
women are often characterised as being more emotionally
intelligent and aware in team work scenarios, whereas
men are perceived to be more effective in situations requiring
authority (Eagly, 2007).
