Gender, Leadership Styles, and Leadership Effectiveness

Style differences between women and men compared either interpersonally oriented and task-oriented styles or democratic and autocratic styles

Women were devalued compared with men when they led in a masculine manner

In a meta-analysis comparing the effectiveness of female and male leaders, men and women were equally effective leaders, overall, but there were gender differences such that women and men were more effective in leadership roles that were congruent with their gender


Thus women were less effective to the extent that the leader role was masculinized
