Better? No.
Just as qualified to lead? Absolutely.
I am so tired of seeing this same tired debate about how women lead emotionally and we will start wars just because we are on our period. Men have started every war in history but they get a free pass because they choose to let others bleed instead of themselves?
Maybe empathy is what we need more of in this world not cold logic. Cold logic is what we see a lot of now and it has put the priority into lining the pockets of those in power at the oppression of the rest of us and instead of us fighting back against it, everyone becomes cheerleaders of a team color in politics. It is exhausting to watch so many self described "intellectuals" all fall for the same act from both sides when in the end they are all doing the same thing. Very few are in office to actually make a real difference for others and not themselves.
We need better morality from our leaders, both male and female. Leaders who are just as good with logic as they are with empathy. If it means a better balance of men and women leading then I am all for that.

No. Women are more emotionally driven & less logic driven than men. In leadership roles logic not emotion is paramount. You can NOT make truly sound decisions on emotion and anyone who says yes you can is an idiot.
Furthermore this emotional aspect is why women are more prone to petty even spiteful behaviour and in leadership roles this is of course extremely detrimental to the team spirit, productivity, etc.
This is why in jobs where logic is vital, such as military or policing, it isn't necessarily the women's physical weakness why they are less numerous than men in such roles. But simply because from a psychological standpoint they're not "cut out" to be military or police. Emotional aspects, including compassion and empathy, serve best in medical roles on the other hand as example and why nurses for years were predominantly female.
That's just feminist propaganda feeding your young brain with ideas that suit their naratives.
Get things done more than men? Since when?
Literally everything you see around you was created by a man both the good and the bad, women complain now but they fail to understand that their ancestors chose to be on the sidelines.
For thousands of years women were happy to go from their father's care to their husband's and have their kids be their only mission in life.
Men had to advance technology, fight wars, discover lands, enforce a law that makes their society safe etc...
So just saying now after thousands of years "yeah women are naturally better at this" where are you getting that information? What is the proof women are better? I keep hearing this but have Literally never seen an example where women were better simply for being women.
Even the countries with women as presidents, these are people who worked hard and bettered themselves to make it to the big office, they can be both good and bad and being a woman in no way affects their performance positively.
No, women don't make good leaders, in fact they tend to fuck everything up. Firstly women think with their feelz, intuition is an aspect of leadership, but again women think with their feelz on everything. I've witnessed too many women in leadership/management positions try to make EVERYONE happy. They don't understand that you can't make everyone happy. Instead they would have done better had they focused on keeping people on task. Something I've seen when women are in leadership positions is they tend to hire a cadre of toadies to give her "advice" (translation: They tell her how to do her job and if she fucks it up, she can turn to her entourage and blame them for her fucking up rather than accepting responsibility for her low IQ low frequency emotional thinking.)
Ultimately at the jobs I've worked, after upper management would install a woman in a leadership position, invariable they would replace her with a man to pull the company out of an uncontrollable vertical nose dive, get the company back on the flight path, and lead the company to its goals.

Women don't even like working for women. I think they know better than random men. Even a feminists wouldn't claim that a woman isn't qualified to judge women.
The vast majority of women aren't interested in putting in the work/sweat to be a leader so it doesn't even matter if you can give them a test that shows they would be great at it. I could give you a 10 minute test that says you'd make a good astronaut. Doesn't make you an astronaut. Those few women who want to put in as much time, sweat and stress as men do, rise to the top.
You probably grew up around a lot of weak men... then it seems natural to you that women are better leaders. Those of us who know/grew up around strong men have a different opinion.What constitutes a "better leader" necessarily involves some judgments and choices that are quite subjective, so there is no proof that one gender is better than the other. Many people make assumptions on the bass of stereotypes about the genders but those stereotypes pertain to the population at large an not necessarily the subset which has the potential to become leaders. E. g., people assume that women would not engage in warfare nearly as often as men but hose who have looked at that issue have concluded that women were just as prone to warfare as were men.
We would need to see a world where governments/institutions/corporations/etc. are largely female-dominated to get a good look at this.
There have been some good women leaders in our world (I think Angela Merkle has been pretty good), but in my personal opinion I do not think women in general are better leaders. Whether they are managers or politicians, they are not often better than male leadership, even when I've hated men in these positions. Some of these women are great, but on average they are not better at leadership than men to me, and they usually have problems with other women that gets in the way of the job.A leader depends on who qualifies to be best suited for the role. Doesn't matter if it's a man or woman, a strong leader can be either one. I've had strong supervisor men and women in my life. A certain kind of personality with certain traits I've noticed are good leaders. They're calm during any situation, especially critical ones. They see the big picture on a grand scale when making decisions. Good public speakers and answer questions honestly with details. They're confident and brave. They take into consideration from other opinions before making a final decision. I can say more but point is, men and women can be great leaders and I've already experienced both in my life.
I'm getting tired of seeing these close minded generalization questions.I'm going to disagree why? Because gender doesn't have anyting to do with how a person get stuff done. You are your own boss.. yes there are men that will say "women can't do this" but I will say if you put your mind into it trust me you will get it done in a effective way..
It depends what it is they are leading, this is just my view and I have been burned by both genders, going on my country New Zealand and our leader and a past leader but living in Australia for a little while now, I would have to say yes. I think that woman have a more empathetic nature and in general have their shit together more than us blokes, if all the guys take a second look at who runs the financial part of their relationship and keeps the whole thing going smoothly.. I think that answers a big part of this question.
I know a lot of woman who do not deserve the leadership role in a workplace setting, they abuse their power, take things out of perspective and make things personal. Equally male too (for same reasons). This is an individual thing. Leaders need to be able to think neutrally. Both genders are capable, but it takes more than that. So I wouldn’t say either gender is better.
These discussions are usually quite useless unless there's a good study done on the statistics.
"Leaders" is a vague term that's open to interpretation and has many different levels.
Talking about the manager of the local homeless shelter or the president of a country, both require very different skills.
Then there's levels of experience where we could also see differences, compare groups of people that have been in such a position for 1 year, 5 years and 20 years.
Science rarely gives us a straightforward answer, the best you will likely get is "In general, people of this gender fulling this particular position with this amount of experience managed to have a statistical advantage when evaluating them on these success criteria over this amount of time."It’s invariably a different style and they often attack problems related to both management and leadership differently,
which is another key point, leadership is not management and management is not leadership (as such).
a lot comes down to style of leadership and motivation used to basically do the leading.Being a good leader involves being able to acclimate to many contradictory pieces of truth at the same time and being able to remain one step ahead of your employees in terms of intellectual performance and social management as well as maintaining an air of mystery to avoid being locked down or blamed, men are better at this than woman because men are more crafty and observant.
Going to come down to individuals, but the main difference of reasonable consistence is that female leaders are much easier to address or even get confrontational with from a subordinate position, but they're also more likely to carry a petty grudge.
In my current business, both the best and worst of company leadership are women, while most of the men are at least average.I don't believe it is in any way gender specific, but individual capacity and capability specific.
If you define a leader as someone who cares for others (as well) and creates/provides/assures they also get (good) opportunities, that historically fits mostly with men, but next to most or even all of those men there also was a strong woman (in the end, leadership a parenting role, only done well by two opposite gender individuals who can get along to that level/work with and for each other and others, not each for themselves in the leaderless greed that has become quite frequent)Why it is accepted on gag to call women weak, bad, terrible, useless, terrible leaders, trash etc. in the commentsection? If a woman call men terrible, trash she is a feminazi but boys-not men- who trashtalk women like this ain't incels/meninazis? What are they then? Now calling people incels who spread womanhate is a feminazi act. So much hypocrisy by incel community on gag
To your question i dont think women/men are better leaders.
Women tend to be passive and so many women ain't interested in being leaders. It does not make women weak if they dont want to be a leader. HOWEVER, if a woman really is interested in being a good leader, she could be. There is no scientific fact that does not allow women to be leaders. If she wants to be, she could be"I've seen many studies proving that women are more suited leaders than men."
Really, can you provide links? The only "studies" I've seen claiming women make better leaders have been from feminist organizations or other left-leaning politically biased groups who are pushing an obvious social agenda.
If you want to know who makes the best leaders, look at the people who ARE the best leaders. The real world shows who actually makes good leaders, not politically biased "studies".
By the way, I've seen countless polls showing that men don't care whether their boss is a man or a woman but women DO care, and they prefer male bosses. Female bosses can be brutal to other females. Male bosses tend to be less catty and nasty to work for.I believe so since we aren’t driven by emotion and anger (with exceptions some women do have anger problems) without all the extra testosterone were able to resolve things peacefully unless we need to use force. Women tend to use their brains instead of their might.
No. Because women usually have less experience of staying cool under stress, being brave and tough, not buckling in to pressure from external forces, and making unpopular decisions based on logic for the good of everyone rather than emotion, they tend to be far worse leaders than men. Not that there aren't good female leaders out there.
I wonder about scale. There's a huge difference between the suitable qualities of a squad leader vs. a general. I'm skewed towards the empathetic end of the spectrum, like many girls.
And one of the problems with my leadership abilities in very large teams is that I get too concerned about the well-being of every single team member, and there are too many team members for me to avoid feeling overwhelmed. But I can be decent with a small team.Oh it’s aunty Cindy!! :) she’s a better leader than any other leader we have ever had in NZ but we’ve had women before so it’s not her gender that makes her better it’s her ability to put people ahead of politics.
Some but generally speaking no. They favor women employees, dismiss any problems with their leadership as men being sexist and confuse being professional with being humorless bitches. I’m not speaking of all women but generally. There are always exceptions.
"Many studies" you say, and yet you don't provide the link to a single one.
