Leadership roles can be associated with genders and many stereotypes could be formed while doing so. While men are thought to be making decisions that might cause disturbance in society, women are linked to improved and stress-free surroundings. I do not agree with this gender-based opinion and this essay will shed light on my thoughts behind this opinion.
First and foremost, there are no scientific evidence behind this notion formed by a few around us. Not all men are violent, and not all women are calm. Female prisoners and male religious figures, such as monks, are perfect examples of this. Both genders can be dangerous to the communities. Additionally, leading requires a great deal of experience and practice, and while gaining these things both genders go through numerous situations where they are required to not lose their patience and deal calmly.
Secondly, there are huge number of people assisting them, giving them important feedback and advice. So, the decisions made by our leaders do not entirely depend on what gender they are. A primary example of this is the parliament of any country, which consists of both genders, and votes are cast on any decision by both. In addition, leaders take inspiration from a lot of people as well, which again can be both men and women. So, their opinions are highly altered by life story and believes of their idol and man can believe in a lot of feminine values and vice versa.
In conclusion, stereotypical opinions based on gender of a person hold no ground when leadership roles are taken into consideration. It is the leaders’ life experiences that shape them as individuals, not their gender.
