Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios
This critical analysis reviews literature on characteristic leadership traits desired in leaders by male and female supervisors.

This topic is of great significance because it seeks to understand whether females feel the same as males …

The intelligence quotients for intellectual ability or expertise in work environments are no longer leading factors in being hired or promoted (Cherniss & Goleman, 2001; Wolff, Druskat, Koman, & Messer, 2006).

Sex-Role Orientation, Women As Managers And Transformational Leadership Among Female Law Firm Partners And Subordinates, Nathalie Lynch-Walsh
Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

Traditional sex-role stereotypes represent one type of "glass ceiling" barrier and stem from the different behavioral norms assigned to men (agentic) and women (communal) based on relative social status. Women exhibiting nonconforming behavior are less liked than conforming women. Conversely, women exhibiting agentic behaviors such as selfconfidence and assertiveness are seen …
