DESPITE moving forward in leaps and bounds when it comes toequal rights and women's empowerment, there is still a gender imbalancewhen it comes to Leadership. Studies are reflecting that "Women at Workplace" aren't operating to the maximum potential and one of the possible reasons for the same is because the current operating model in most corporate companies is highly influenced by how men function at workplace and it's based heavily on masculine energy, which doesn't come naturally to women.

The challenge for Women leaders is how they are expected to behave is inconsistent with how leaders ought to behave. We expect leaders to be ambitious, confident and driven but not caring, warm and sensitive. Therefore, men are automatically at a leadership advantage because their behaviour is consistent with perceptions. In contrast, women face a dilemma, when they behave consistently with gender-role expectations, they are perceived to be likeable but weak and not an ideal leader material. However, if they exhibit the assertive behaviour leaders are expected to possess, they are in violation of their gender-role stereotype and are perceived to beunlikeable,self-interestedandinterpersonally hostile.
