Women leaders also provided high levels of family-supportive supervision irrespective of how hopeful they felt. Men leaders provided family-supportive supervision only when they felt more hopeful.

  As it turns out, women leaders are not likely to act based on their emotion, but men are. Study (N=137) finds women leaders had low levels of abusive supervision regardless of their anxiety. Men leaders engaged in more abusive supervision (being rude, ridiculing, yelling at, or lying to their reports) when their anxiety was higher. https://hbr.org/2024/09/research-how-anxiety-shapes-mens-and-womens-leadership-differently

    Research: How Anxiety Shapes Men’s and Women’s Leadership Differently

    One of the oldest erroneous gender stereotypes is that women are too emotional to be effective leaders, especially in uncertain times. Contrary to this belief, research on 137 leader-report pairs in Europe during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic indicates that women may actually be less likely to let their emotions negatively influence their leadership behaviors compared to men. During this time, women leaders reported higher anxiety levels but did not translate these emotions into abusive behaviors, unlike their male counterparts who exhibited more hostile supervision when anxious. Women typically engaged in family-supportive behaviors regardless of their emotional state. The research emphasizes the importance of recognizing the unique strengths women bring to leadership roles, especially their capacity to lead compassionately and prioritize others, but also notes that caring leadership behaviors are evaluated differently based on the gender of the leader. The study calls for more inclusive research that addresses diverse gender identities and cultural contexts.
