Some people believe women are better leaders than men. To which extent do you agree or disagree?

Many people claim that

positions are perceived as more successful than

men

. In my opinion, I believe that gender is not the main factor to define a good chief and it is equal among them. On the one hand, recently updated researchers have shown that

women

tend to outperform

men

in competencies

such

as caring for others or working together. These are the main traits that build good leaders.

For example

, Finland is a country with five

women

leading the government. The Finnish leaders put care in most of their decisions, which gives greater rights to trans people, encourages parents to share caring responsibilities, and closes the gender pay gap. Finland

also

won praise for its early handling of the coronavirus pandemic, like some other female-led countries.

On the other hand

, scientific studies

also

show that

men

outscored

women

significantly in the ability to develop a strategic perspective.

This

enhances the leaders' chances of making better decisions that bring more benefit to the company or organization. It is clear that the majority of people at the top of organizations are

men

.

For example

, Over 95% of Chief Executive Officer Positions in Fortune 500 companies were

men

in 2012.

Furthermore

,

women

have many challenges

besides

leadership roles in society

such

as balancing between work and family.

For instance

,

women

usually have to break their work after getting pregnant whereas

men

never have to deal with

this

. In conclusion, there was no significant difference between the genders in terms of leadership effectiveness on any measure. It means

women

and

men

are equally suitable for leadership positions.
