Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to join our symposium "Women, Gender Stereotypes, & Leadership: Overcoming the Negatives or Accentuating the Positives?" We welcome all those interested in sharing a lively discussion on gender stereotypes and the leadership gender gap.
Session Type: Symposium Submission: 16184 | Sponsor: GDO
Scheduled: Tuesday, Aug 14 2018 11:30PM – 1:00PM at Hyatt Regency Chicago in Roosevelt 1A
Currently, unconscious bias linked to stereotyping is considered to be the top barrier to women's full workforce integration over the 2015–2020 period (World Economic Forum, 2016). Contributing to the literature and current conversation around how women can successfully persevere as leaders, this symposium illustrates, at an aggregate level, how women leaders may face the advantages and disadvantages of their gender stereotype. On one hand, women need to overcome the negative aspects of enacting the masculine or agentic behaviors and styles that leadership seems to require. On the other, women might find ways to accentuate the positive links of their own feminine or communal behaviors with certain forms of leadership, such as socially responsible or ethical leadership. This presenter symposium includes 4 research papers from scholars across the globe employing various qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
