Article ABSTRACT
Traditionally, research in the field of leadership has focused on male leaders, who were seen as the standard. Recently, changes have begun as gender equality is gradually being established, and women are not only pursuing higher education but also holding leadership positions and taking on key roles.
The primary objective is to investigate the relationship between leadership and gender. To achieve this, the following interconnected tasks are defined: (i) the prevalence of women and men in leadership roles, (ii) gender-specific leadership behavior styles, and (iii) the effectiveness and aspirations of women in leadership.
The study is based on the dialectical method, a system of rules that relies on understanding the regularities of the research topic, which helps to formulate new insights. We employed dialectical logic as the tool of cognition, enabling us to technically implement the research principles and theoretically justify the validity of the forms through which we reached our objectives. According to the results of the study, effective leaders employ a combination of feminine and masculine leadership techniques, demonstrating a hybrid leadership style that transcends obvious gender distinctions.
Leadership qualities are inherently universal and not directly tied to gender. The research indicates that successful leadership is exhibited by individuals, regardless of gender, who demonstrate psychological behaviors characteristic of both female and male leaders. The gradual breakdown of gender stereotypes reflects a shift in perspectives on effective leadership, moving away from viewing individuals as women or men to simply seeing them as persons.
Keywords: Leadership, Gender, Leadership, behavior style, Masculinity, Femininity.
