Abstract

Women were regarded as inferior and sometimes are still regarded as inferior to men and looked down upon. They are sometimes underestimated in issues regarding leadership and management as they are stereotyped and regarded as not being capable of being at the top. This belief came as a result of how men and women are socialized. In actual sense there is little reason to believe that either women or men make superior managers or different types of managers. Hoverer, there are some little differences but this is socially constructed.
