Management
Gender and leadership change
Literature on leadership today describes sets of skills or traits that leaders should have, and actions that should be taken to be effective. Explain what skills and traits are useful for successful leaders. Present your position as to whether the skills or traits used in the workplace should be, or are, different for men or women.
Imagine that you work for a company that is planning to expand to Sweden or Brazil. How might your expectations of gender and leadership change based on the new culture in Sweden and in Brazil?
