Challenges in Women's Leadership
This chapter explores the multifaceted challenges faced by women in leadership positions, particularly in politics, such as societal stereotypes and the dual expectation to balance strength with empathy. It emphasizes the enduring double standards in assessing women's capabilities, the impact of biases in leadership selection, and the flawed notion that one woman's success translates to progress for all. Through examining concepts like the glass cliff and the mama bear effect, the chapter advocates for a broader definition of effective leadership that includes empathy and nurturing traits essential for all leaders.
