Abstract
In the early 1900s, women fought their rights to vote; they had won their rights to vote. Now we are encouraging for more women leadership by breaking the “glass ceiling” by the year of 2020. When it comes to leadership, women are voicing up their objectives to increase women leadership. In order to meet the goal, it is going to take nation as a whole to debate and meet the objective. The national goal on women leadership is to increase up to 50% of women to be leaders (Vision 2020). In my perspective in order to meet the national goal is for people to understand and learn about themselves and others. It takes people to assess why they react the way they react when it comes to hearing about women leadership. It is all about awareness and education. I am going to focus mainly on stereotype which created barriers when it comes to glass ceiling in women leadership. With this research paper, I will be putting in information from what I had learned, the information from interviewees, then at the end my opinion about women’s leadership, which I had learned from Human Resource 515.
Women Leadership When it comes to senior leadership, the national goal is to increase more number of women’s leadership by passing the glass ceiling. There are several things the national need to do in order to help women to get into senior leadership. A major key needed to be pointed out that are the serious issue is to reduce stereotypes, which creates barriers in leadership and showing women’s talents. Stereotype is all around us everyday regardless men or women. However, women get stereotyped more than men when it comes to climbing the ladder to leadership. Way women are perceived by the society is based on how we approach when being leaders. There is no perfect balance when it comes to being a female leader. Women often viewed as strident and overly
