Leadership in Organizations
I INTRODUCTION
Leadership and management are two notions used to describe two related concepts. Managers do things right, leaders do the right thing.

It relates directly to the ability to build and maintain a group that performs well compared to its competition. In this presentation, these differences are discussed, explaining why both terms are thought to be similar.

A. Gender and Leadership
The Debate: Do men and women have different leadership styles?
"If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman." - Margaret Thatcher
Women do have different leadership styles from men.
As Bodyshop founder Anita Roddick says: ‘I run my company according to feminine principles – principles of caring, making intuitive decisions, not getting hung up on hierarchy, having a sense of work as being part of your life, not separate from it; putting your labour where your love is, being responsible to the world in how you use your profits; recognising the bottom line should stay at the bottom’.
The problem with actually mapping these differences is that the successful male managerial stereotype is so strongly embedded in organizational life that female managers are pressured to conform to it, thereby confusing research results.
Successful managers were overwhelmingly identified exclusively with male traits. Many similar studies have been carried
