Deciding on who leads better – males or females has been a highly debatable issue for the past decades. Some people believe more in female leaders, while others support only males. I partially agree with both. While I understand the rationale behind these opinions, I feel that being a leader largely depends on personal qualities and intellect, rather than

gender.
Certainly, it could be argued that
women
are stronger leaders than
men
due to their better development of interpersonal skills.
For instance
, their verbal communication and body language in general is a lot more impressive than that of the
men
.
In addition
, they are highly attuned to the feelings of the people around them and relate to people in
such
a way that makes them unforgettable and irresistible. Evident examples are Rosa Parks who inspired the civil movement and led to the defeat of racism; and Indira Gandhi, who fought not only for the establishment of peace and liberation of

in her country.
Women
have proved that they can not only lead well but are history-making politicians.

, these
women
succeeded because of their intelligence and perseverance, and not because of their gender.

to their female counterparts, they got that privilege because of their qualities of

Nevertheless
, even in our times significantly bigger numbers of
men
tend to appear in leading positions than
women
. And one explanation for
this
could be social and cultural factors. In certain cultures, males have always had more freedom to dedicate themselves to their careers, while
women
have had to choose the lifestyle that had been dictated by their families.
As a result
, in almost 195 states all over the world, only 30% of countries are led by female politicians.
To conclude, regardless of the social difference, I strongly believe that being a good leader is defined by
