Challenges for Men and Women Leaders in Large Business Organizations: A Comparative Study

Abstract

As CEOs of major corporations, men and women face various obstacles. Historically, men have occupied the majority of leadership roles, and women frequently encounter challenges such as gender stereotypes, bias, and discrimination. Women also have fewer mentors and role models, which makes it more difficult for women to advance in their careers. Men, on the other hand, may experience difficulties in establishing a work-life balance and developing honest connections with colleagues and employees, particularly in companies that value traditional masculine attributes. Both men and women leaders may struggle to manage diverse teams because varied perspectives and communication methods can cause disputes and necessitate different leadership styles. Furthermore, huge business organizations can have complicated structures and bureaucratic processes that make decision-making delayed and difficult. Effective leaders must be able to overcome these issues while inspiring their people and driving organizational success.
