This document discusses the lack of gender diversity in leadership positions in Malaysia. It finds that while women make up approximately 60% of university graduates, they hold only 27% of management roles and 5% of CEO positions in Malaysian companies. Similarly, in government, women hold only 34% of decision-making roles in the public service and 11% of parliamentary seats. The document argues that greater gender diversity in leadership leads to better organizational performance and governance. However, women face barriers such as masculine organizational cultures, social and cultural norms, and a lack of role models. To address this, organizations, women, and men must work together to remove these barriers through recognition of the issues, setting numerical diversity targets, and holding leaders accountable.
It’s no secret that women have historically faced greater barriers than men when it comes to fully participating in the economy. Across geographies and income levels, disparities between men and women persist in the form of pay gaps, uneven opportunities for advancement, and unbalanced representation in important decision-making.
In all our institutions, we are still experiencing a tremendous leadership gap. We will talk about the remaining barriers and unconscious biases towards female leadership and the different existing initiatives to overcome it.

As a woman in business, I know the difficult tight rope that we walk every day between being too nice and too pushy.
Catalyst did a fascinating study called “The Double-Bind Dilemma for Women in Leadership: Damned if You Do, Doomed if You Don’t “.
It highlights some of the difficulties that women have in the workplace getting taken seriously. If we come across too strong or too “pushy”, then we’re labeled as “witchy”. If we act too nice, then people think we don’t have what it takes to make tough decisions. It’s very difficult to get it just right. And that puts even more pressure on women at work.

Role of Women in Top Management Positions and its Impact on Company Leadershipijtsrd
Women score 86 higher than men in emotional self awareness, according to Hay Group. Emotional self awareness includes understanding emotions and their effect on performance and how those emotions drive one’s actions. Adaptability, empathy, and social awareness are also areas within the soft skill spectrum where women excel. Women make up half of the worlds population, but they continue to face inequalities in every field, whether in government or non government organisations, and particularly in leadership because men believe women cannot be good leaders or managers, whereas men agree for women to work at home because men believe women are only good for domestic work. Attaining gender equality in organisations at all levels is a lengthy and difficult process that necessitates the involvement of the entire firm as well as a strong commitment from top management. Women constitute half of the worlds population, undertake two thirds of the worlds labour, but receive just a third of the worlds income, according to UN publications on women issues of the year 2000. I make a tenth of its income and hold less than a hundredth of its assets. Women account for more than 40 of the global labour force and half of the global population. Over the years government seeks to establish policies and programmes to progress women in government companies and organisations. Women produce more than 55 percent of the food grown in developing countries, particularly in rural areas. According to several surveys, women have shown to be successful business owners as well as managers. According to the research, women make up 16 percent of junior management jobs, 4 percent of middle and senior management positions, and only 1 of organisational leadership positions CEOs . This paper is based on secondary information. The study focuses on the challenges that women face in India when it comes to top management position and overall leadership and management.

Gender Differences in Leadership And Their Impact; 4 Best Points | The Entrep...TheEntrepreneurRevie
Here are 4 Points of Gender Differences in Leadership And Their Impact; 1. Introduction, 2. Leadership: a Definitive Definition, 3. Variations in Leadership Styles Among Men and Women
Women are less likely to receive the first critical promotion to manager—so far fewer end up on the path to leadership—and are less likely to be hired into more senior positions. Women also get less access to the people, input, and opportunities that accelerate careers. As a result, the higher you look in companies, the fewer women you see.
This disparity is especially pronounced for women of color, who face the most barriers to advancement and experience the steepest drop-offs with seniority.
