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.
