#BreakTheBias: How Women can Change the Course of Leadership

We have been shaped to believe in the illusion that women in our societies are not capable of leading in general, and are made to be subordinates to their male counterparts. This is primarily because women tend to have more nurturing qualities than men which makes them more fit for the “supporting roles” in life. Moreover because of these qualities, societies have distinguished women to have more domestic roles compared to male counterparts as these characteristics are much more prevalent and needed in the household. Because of these things that have been attributed in our minds, we tend to have hesitations and biases when women become leaders. However, this should not be the case since women are also as capable as their counterparts in different matters, especially in leadership. In terms of breaking the misconceptions and bias against women leadership, we must learn the reasons why women should lead, what they can offer in leadership, and how women can change the future of leadership.
