\n NEW YORK<\/span>, Jan. 12, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — What traits make a good leader? It depends on who you ask according to a new report from Oliver Wyman<\/span><\/a>. Men and women across all industries have different views on what a “good” leader is \u2013 agreeing on only one <\/u><\/b>key trait in their top three.<\/p>\n

Men rank being direct, decisive and confident as the top three traits, while women rank empowers teams, confident and collaborative.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

“Women in senior leadership positions remain elusive in corporate America with less than 6 percent of female CEOs in the US,” said Terry Stone<\/span>, a partner with Oliver Wyman<\/span>. “A major reason is because women’s leadership readiness is most often judged by senior men who put weight on traits they find important, which differ from women.”<\/p>\n

Given men dominate the C-Suite, only 40 percent of women said their leadership style was reflected in their company’s leadership, compared with nearly 70 percent of men. However, the leadership traits women cite are essential to a more inclusive culture. <\/p>\n
