The topic itself gives us a suspicious question as women are already ‘multi-taskers’. But why is there a doubt persisting against them being great leaders? There are many instances where women prove that they have all the qualities to hold the position of leader.

According to the research done by Harvard Business Review in 2012, with a database of 360-degree reviews, women scored as equal to men in handling leadership positions. The surprising fact is, that when the same research was held in 2019 women in senior leadership roles remained relatively steady as same as when the original research (2012) was done. This is one of many such examples.

Gender shouldn’t be a factor determining a person’s leadership qualities – a person’s leadership abilities depend on their individual strengths and personality traits. Women see leadership roles from a different perspective. One research states that 65% of women describe a leader as ‘one who shares their knowledge to uplift his/her team to reach success’. When this attitude of women is put in managerial roles, it can make them stronger and more effective leaders.

Let us take a look at why women should be given the throne:

1. No “Nos” To Multi-Tasking
Women are used to multi-tasking since their young age. Managing many works at the same time is what she had mastered already. Hence, for her, this is a go-go!

2. Patience in Full Battery Level
This doesn’t conclude that women are always polite. But they know how to handle a situation or an argument without losing temper. Given any situation, she knows how to tackle them.

3. Already A Winner Against the Odds
Yeah, some people would say otherwise but being a woman, we know how to work against the odds. You know why? Because we have always faced discrimination and restriction – regardless of which, many women have come out and stood up for themselves and succeeded against the odds in flying colors. They have the drive to prove people wrong, who put a barrier in their way and succeed in whichever path they are working in.

4. High Scale On Emotional Intelligence
The ability to recognize emotions in yourself and others and relate — is something that accounts for a great leader. Married or not, a woman always possesses this character. With this power, she can handle all kinds of people with clarity in what she wants for her team and herself.

5. Easy Mingle Policy
Normally women don’t stay alone in any situation. Although she is always with her companions, she clearly knows whenever a decision must be taken. And, it will always be in favor of everyone else on the team. This fact helps her more when it comes to an organization. It gains her respect for being the kind-hearted individual she is and will for sure cheer her to go on.

The above-stated points are only the match’s highlights. The real match is yet to begin. There are for sure many other qualities of women that suits up to the mark, to fit in as a leader in the corporate world. So, come on let us try to understand those boons and reserve her a seat!
