Abstract
Our society is currently experiencing a period of significant change in the concept of women’s role. This change is reflected in the increasing numbers of women who are planning their lives around careers in the work world. As women gradually enter leadership roles that traditionally were occupied mainly by men, the possibility that the leadership styles of women and men differ continues to attract attention. There are specifically no rules for leadership but there are certain skills that every good leader seems to have. In the battle of the sexes, people often find themselves in discussion on the differences between male and female leadership. Indeed, there are different perspectives on this topic ranging from recognition of no differences in style or ability to clear-cut differences based on gender. This article discusses the differences between male and female leadership styles. Since there are different characteristics between men and women, male leadership is often symbolized by an ego-driven form of direction-giving, while female leadership entails more listening and co-operation.
