Very little research exists in relation to the intersectional conversations that need to occur when these gendered gaps are coupled with other aspects of …

For example, those from an Asian culture are more likely to prefer formality and authority as opposed to the collaborative and relationship-oriented style of leadership found in America. I will contribute to …
