But, the truth of the matter is that even in today's day and age, women make up a meagre chunk of the top decision-making roles. A 2019 study by Lean In found that 21 percent of C-suite positions are held by women. Similarly, women lead only 10 percent of all Fortune 500 companies in 2023. But when women do make it to the top, they outperform their male counterparts. For years, leadership was viewed as a `tough man's job' that required one to `make daunting decisions that others might be unable to make'. However, in today's age we understand that leadership is about fostering collaboration and building psychologically safe teams that can focus on growth and innovation. Women inherently possess the soft-skills required to be a good collaborator. A 2013 study showcased that women are more drawn to collaboration than men. Men, generally tend to hold a pessimistic view of their teammates' abilities.Even when study after study highlights how women can outshine men at leadership, women still continue to undervalue their capabilities. Having solid role-models who have achieved immense success in life can be a catalyst in helping aspiring women leaders and professionals have a positive view of their impending growth.The current edition of Women Entrepreneurs Review introduces readers to a host of amazing women leaders.
