Vanessa stated that “any woman working will experience this balancing family life with work life.” Tara state that women will let the stigmas and stereotypes define them and society's view on femininity.” Dashauna state that “the issues women face is that they don’t get taken seriously, the leadership roles/positions, and society feel that women are not as intelligent enough to be in a position of leadership because that is a man’s place to be authorities.” This made me realize that women in leadership position will struggle with balancing work and family, not be taken seriously and do not let the stigma and stereotypes define them. Based on this, I can infer that women leader need to be confident, accept criticism, and do not accept society

Matheson continues listing some behaviors that occur, such as casual use of mildly misogynistic language like “girly” or even just a dismissive attitude toward women overall. Women are subjected to certain expectations, and it is difficult to find leadership roles that people expect. These expectations include having a nurturing personality, which is associated with being a mother/caretaker. More examples are dressing in typical feminine clothing, being polite, and accommodating.

Moreover, even though women seem to have a better approach to leadership, helping employees and motivating them, it does not necessarily mean it is always effective (ibid).

For example, the transformational approach is more suitable for social service jobs, where it needs to be more compassionate. However, less suitable in more sportive jobs.

Second, feminist work suggests that the way that we traditionally leadership need to be seriously rethought, including gendered conception about representation, autonomy, and power. Feminists approaches demonstrate the importance of inclusive analysis, searching for silences, understanding interdependence, and holding a broad view of power. These contributions, taken together, suggest that it is not only that our understanding of what a leader is and how to study leadership that are gendered, but the concept of leadership

Given the idea that an in-depth interview was issue oriented (Hesse-Biber & Leavy, 2006) and the need was to the perception of the workforce towards women leaders, it was decided to utilise semi-structured interviews with all participants. The focus was on seeing the world through the eyes of the respondents as much as possible; to explore with them their thoughts and feelings; to thoroughly understand their point of view (Alston & Bowles, 2003); and to help participants to express their own personal perspectives and experiences (Hesse-Biber & Leavy, 2006; Patton,

In her widely watched 2010 TED talk “Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders” (currently with more than 1.5 million views) Sheryl Sandberg, currently Chief Operating Officer of Facebook (and the first woman to serve on Facebook's board) and formerly Vice President at Google, shares her experience of being one of the rare women in top global management positions and offers advice to women who would like to succeed in their corporate careers. In the 15-minute video, Sandberg asks how we can fix the problem of having too few women in top leadership positions in spite of many advances in women’s rights being made. She argues that the solution lies with women themselves, as individuals, and the messages they need to tell themselves and their daughters. This entails three steps: (1) ‘sit at the table’, meaning women should negotiate for themselves more assertively and stop underestimating their abilities; (2) ‘make your partner a real partner’ and establish shared/equal responsibilities between partners at home (i.e. with raising children and housework); and (3) ‘don’t ‘leave’ before you leave’, which means continuing to work at the best of your abilities (i.e. ‘leaning in’ instead of ‘leaning back’ when the possibility of having a child is entertained) until
