Women more suited to leadership than men, report finds

A recent study enacted by Professor Øyvind L Martinsen has found that women are better suited to leadership roles than men.

Her report looked at five categories, including: initiative and clear communication, openness and ability to innovate, sociability and supportiveness, and methodical management.

The study analysed the characteristics of over 2,900 management-level employees. This group comprised of approximately 900 senior management workers, 900 public sector workers and 900 women - WeAreTheCity reports. 

In four of the five categories, women scored higher than men – the only place they seemed to falter was in emotional stability and the ability to bear stress.
