The Path for Women to Occupy Leadership Roles Consistently Across

Question 8

Multiple Choice

The path for women to occupy leadership roles consistently across more than traditional 'female' occupations, such as nursing and teaching, is still not a clear. What are the social constructs with a 'labyrinth' of Leadership that women face?


A) The general view that women are selfish in nature and lack compassion, unconcerned for the well-being of others, gentle, and kind. If they act with compassion, the accusation will be they simply be too weak-precisely the attributes (so popular myth would have it) a leader needs and moral fibre necessary to become a leader.
B) If they act with 'agentic' qualities, they will be seen as equal to men reflecting what it means to be an authentic woman-precisely the attributes (so popular myth would have it) a leader needs.
C) The general view that women are communal in nature and compassionate, concerned for the well-being of others, gentle, and kind. If they act communally, the accusation will be they simply do not have the backbone and moral fibre necessary to become a leader.
D) They are seen as 'agentic' and display characteristics such as assertiveness, control, and dominance-precisely the attributes (so popular myth would have it) a leader needs.
