Today, most companies have women in diverse decision-making roles. These <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women in leadership<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> roles are inspiring aspiring women to pursue their dreams. According to a 2020 study by Mercer,\u00a0 37% of managers and 29% of senior managers in organizations are women. While it\u2019s good to see the gender gap narrowing, we need to make a conscious effort to encourage more women to pursue their careers and take up leadership positions. Let\u2019s take a look at why women have better leadership skills and how some of the women have shaped the future of business in various sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/we-need-women-in-leadership\/#Why_Women_Excel_in_Leadership_Roles\" >Why Women Excel in Leadership Roles:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/we-need-women-in-leadership\/#The_Capability_of_Todays_Women_in_Politics\" >The Capability of Today&#8217;s Women in Politics:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/we-need-women-in-leadership\/#Women_Bring_Fresh_Perspectives_in_Corporate_Workspace\" >Women Bring Fresh Perspectives in Corporate Workspace:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/we-need-women-in-leadership\/#Women_Can_Drive_a_Much-Needed_Change\" >Women Can Drive a Much-Needed Change:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/we-need-women-in-leadership\/#Women_Ruling_the_Digital_Space_Too\" >Women Ruling the Digital Space Too:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/we-need-women-in-leadership\/#Communication_Is_a_Womens_Strong_Skill\" >Communication Is a Women&#8217;s Strong Skill:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-7\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Women_Excel_in_Leadership_Roles\"><\/span><b>Why Women Excel in Leadership Roles:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-cheerup-main wp-image-4127\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_05-770x515.jpg\" alt=\"women in leadership positions\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_05.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_05-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_05-270x180.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a study, in 2022, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23 Global Fortune 500<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> companies were led by women\u2014a record! In 2020, only one woman of colour led a Global 500 company. Six women in 2021! While women are steadily climbing the corporate ladder, the leadership gap remains. And to bridge this gap, gender shouldn&#8217;t decide leadership. Instead, businesses should evaluate leadership potential based on personality and strengths. Speaking about special traits that help <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women in leadership<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> roles to excel are their abilities to strike a balance between their professional and personal life, inclusiveness in nature, multitasking ability, firefighting skills and their innate ability to don many hats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Capability_of_Todays_Women_in_Politics\"><\/span><b>The Capability of Today&#8217;s Women in Politics:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, India appointed its first female finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman. No woman had held such an important role in the Indian government before. Finance was considered a man&#8217;s world until many women graduated from prestigious universities with finance degrees and took up roles typically held by men. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women in leadership<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> roles are not something India, or the world, is seeing in recent times. Back in 1966, Indira Gandhi became India&#8217;s first woman prime minister and served in office for three consecutive terms.\u00a0 When COVID-19&#8217;s unexpected attack crippled governments across the globe, New Zealand emerged victorious under the able leadership of Jacinda Arden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for women to emerge as strong political leaders can be credited to the fact that they are not afraid of making bold decisions taking inclusiveness into account. This not only helps in the overall growth and development of the nation but also encourages society to believe in women power. Women&#8217;s leadership in politics can make an everlasting impact on the world. Inspiring women are all around us. We are just a few years away from being surrounded by women in leadership, and it will only lead to the growth of our society as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-12\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Women_Bring_Fresh_Perspectives_in_Corporate_Workspace\"><\/span><b>Women Bring Fresh Perspectives in Corporate Workspace:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-cheerup-main wp-image-4129\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_02-770x515.jpg\" alt=\"Women in leadership corporate workspace\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_02.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_02-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_02-270x180.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a long time, men have held senior positions at most workplaces. When companies started putting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women in leadership<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> roles, discussion rooms saw different perspectives and new ideas. The rise of women entrepreneurs is proof that women leaders are capable of leading businesses today.\u00a0 Fresh perspectives are important for any business to excel. They lead to innovation, offering a different approach to daily tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> conducted by Pew Research Centre, women in decision making roles are more honest, intelligent, compassionate, outgoing and creative than men leaders. The story also concluded that women leaders are just as hardworking and ambitious as their male counterparts. Around the world, we get to see many women entrepreneurs who are innovating and running multi-million dollar companies. Be it Mamaearth\u2019s Ghazal Alagh or Falguni Nayar\u2019s Nykaa, we are witnesses to the hustling spirit of women around us. Karen <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lynch, CEO, CVS Health is the highest-ranking female CEO in the Fortune 500. Leena Nair was appointed the CEO of Chanel, the French luxury fashion house, this year. Roshni Nadar, CEO, HCL Corporation is the first woman to lead a listed Information Technology company in India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a page from how women deal with things at home, women leaders often choose to make the environment less toxic, focusing on deliverables in the most peaceful way possible. Most companies led by women also ensure that there\u2019s more diversity and every idea is heard and encouraged from everyone evaluating on merit basis. The success of all the leading ladies in the corporate world is precisely why more<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> women in leadership <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are needed in today&#8217;s world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-16\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Women_Can_Drive_a_Much-Needed_Change\"><\/span><b>Women Can Drive a Much-Needed Change:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-17\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-cheerup-main wp-image-4128\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_03-770x515.jpg\" alt=\"women in leadership GDP\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_03.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_03-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Women-Leadership-Blog-Image_03-270x180.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the years, the conversation about the gender pay gap has been brought to light by many people. Men are often paid more than a female at the same job level. While conversations have taken place, which is an extremely important step towards driving any change, little has been done about it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women in leadership<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> roles can change that. British actress Emma Watson accepts roles where she is paid just as much as the male actor while also launching a UN Campaign called HeForShe, which aims to ensure that women in the film industry are paid equally and appropriately. Another example would be Selena Gomez, who founded Wondermind to openly talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepanelstation.com\/blog\/prioritizing-mental-health-why-it-matters-today\/\">mental health issues<\/a>, which is something that was swept under the carpet before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-19\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Women_Ruling_the_Digital_Space_Too\"><\/span><b>Women Ruling the Digital Space Too:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not easy managing an entire household, excelling at work, while being emotionally intelligent and constantly multitasking.\u00a0 And like we said, women are known to don multiple hats with ease, increasing numbers of women&#8217;s participation in digital spaces has led to the emergence of new opportunities. Many digital content creators have created their niche in the market. From Sonali Bhadauria (Live to Dance with Sonali) to Nisha Madhulika (Top YouTube Cooking Content Creator), from Vidya Iyer (Music creator) to Prajakta Koli (comedy sketches content creator) have proved that women can excel in any field and in any role. And this is not just talk but proven scientific fact.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Studies have compared how men and women manage stressful situations. Stress affects men and women differently. Ne<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uroscience and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">neurobiology study<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> show that women make better decisions under stress.

This is mainly because women don&#8217;t just communicate with words. Body language, reading between the lines, and eye contact are just some ways in which women communicate. They are also known to put across their thoughts with more empathy when compared to men. For any strong leadership, communication skills come in handy to build a connection with fellow workers. Due to this ingrained quality, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women in leadership<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can drive productive outcomes from employees. This also promotes open conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-24\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today there are many firms that have all-women workforces, giving opportunities to young women from all walks of life. There are different kinds of programs where women hone their skills and go one step further towards being future women leaders. In the healthcare sector, Emcure Pharmaceuticals\u2019 Namita Thapar is a shining example of how women entrepreneurs are making their own name in the world.
