Caliper Study on Women and Leadership

Evidence shows that women bring distinct personality and motivational strengths to leadership roles—and do so in a style that is more conducive to today’s diverse workplace.

In a study conducted by Caliper, women leaders showed themselves to be different from their male counterparts. The study revealed four major findings:

Finding 1:  Women leaders are more persuasive than their male counterparts

Finding 2:  Women leaders feel the sting of rejection, learn from adversity and carry on with an "I'll show you" attitude

Finding 3:  Women leaders have an inclusive, team-building leadership style of problem solving and decision making

Finding 4:  Women leaders are more likely to ignore rules and take risks
