Description/Paper Instructions

Excelsior College Women in business Bill Gates essay case study.

There are four mini papers in the course, each requiring you to complete research on a given topic and

integrate the course material.

Mini Paper #3 is due at the end of Module 6 and deals with evaluation of the traits commonly assigned

to male and female leaders.
In Chapter 6 of the textbook, there is a discussion on the research on sex/gender stereotypes and
leadership stereotypes that began with Virginia Schein back in the 1970s. Over the past 40 years, various

researchers, including Powell himself, have found that little has changed in the way society views male
and female leaders. Specifically, there is still a tendency among men and women alike to prefer male

leaders over female leaders and a prevalent stereotype that links masculine traits to effective
leadership.
Research conducted since the late 1990s on transformational leadership, however, has sought to change

this predominate "think good manager/leader–think male" connection. As summarized by Powell,
numerous studies show that women score higher on each dimension associated with transformational

leadership while men score higher on non-transformational dimensions that are less effective for
leadership.
Transformational leadership provides us with a mixed-gender formula for what makes a leader

successful in helping followers become fully engaged, respectful team members who work together to
achieve personal and organizational success. Some aspects of transformational leadership are more

feminine in their focus while others are more masculine in focus. In other words, leaders need both to
be effective.
For this assignment, select two well-known leaders—one female and one male—and review information

on their leadership style and behaviors. Be sure to select leaders about whom enough published

material can be found. Identify and describe their leadership style and behaviors, linking these to the
theories described in Chapter 6. Discuss how each leader is perceived with respect to his/her gender-

related traits (more masculine or feminine) and how effective/successful each has been or are perceived

to be.
For example, two popular, successful female leaders with differing gender traits are Angela Merkel,
Germany's Chancellor, and Oprah Winfrey, American media mogul and international philanthropist.

Merkel, the first female and youngest Chancellor in the country's history, is noted for her masculine

characteristics, which many associate with her interests in, and training as, a scientist in the field of

physics. Winfrey, the first African-American billionaire and highly respected media figure, is noted for
her feminine traits of compassion for others. Both have been successful in their spheres of influence as

leaders.
Two popular, successful male leaders with differing gender traits are Nelson Mandela and Donald
Trump. Nelson Mandela, though he began his political activism with an aggressive philosophy that

included violence as a viable alternative against the war on apartheid, experienced a powerful

transformation in his 27 years as a political prisoner that led him to a more compassionate view of
others and the emotional intelligence needed to negotiate peace.
Donald Trump, a lightning rod for controversy, is without doubt a successful businessman who

personifies the masculine traits of independence, aggressiveness, and competitiveness. His blunt, no-
nonsense approach to dealing with people appeals to some; while others find such behavior offensive.

Regardless of whether one likes or dislikes him, he is a successful businessperson (proving his financial
resilience time and again), who isn't afraid to take on a challenge.
