Аннотация

In modern society, the role of women leaders becomes increasingly important, driven by global social, economic, and cultural changes. This article examines the evolving nature of leadership in the context of gender equality, analysing the barriers women face in attaining leadership positions and enablers of their success. It considers the characteristics of female management styles and their impact on corporate culture and organisational effectiveness.  Particular attention is given to the role of stereotypes, institutional constraints, and social expectations, which create unique challenges for women leaders. Based on an analysis of current research and statistical data, the author offers recommendations for fostering an inclusive environment that supports the development of women's leadership. This article will be of interest to researchers in management, sociology, and gender studies, as well as practitioners seeking to enhance organisational effectiveness through diversity and inclusion.


Keywords: Women Leaders, Gender Leadership, Management Style, Gender Stereotypes, Career Barriers, Organisational Effectiveness, Social Change, Leadership Qualities.
