Do women make good leaders? First, that’s a stupid question. Unfortunately, it still pops up from time to time, even from what I would consider to be normally intelligent people. Of course there are excellent leaders who are women. There are also horrible leaders who are women. The same holds true for male leaders. So why does this subject seem to warrant ever more discussion? Probably because it gets people’s attention and because there still is some bias, real and perceived, on both sides of the issue. So, why do I bother to address the matter? Simply because the question of women in leadership goes to a deeper problem that leaders must be aware of and guard against.
