A Study On Stereotyping Women’s Leadership Roles

Abstract

Political, economic, educational, and status changes in contemporary culture have made it possible for there to be a large increase in women leaders. Women leaders exhibit the same broad leadership traits as males, but they could have leadership philosophies that are especially suited to the demands of the present. Some of the prominent barriers in women’s leadership roles in Manipur state are due to several prejudices and stereotypes which need to be confronted over time.  These prejudices will be recognised and justifications would be provided to examine stereotypical attitudes in regional levels of inquiry. As a means of enhancing effective leadership skills in the region of Manipur among the womenfolk, this paper aims to carry out a discursive study on the stereotyping of women’s leadership roles in Manipur. With the help of a questionnaire, the descriptive method of inquiry has been taken up to study the stereotypical attitudes of males and females of Manipur. Moreover, this research based inquiry will recognise the main concerns of stereotypical attitudes in institutes of Manipur. The study will also examine the various gender role theories to examine social constructs in leadership management arrangements. Lastly, this research paper will also provide interventions to eliminate stereotypical attitudes and grow parallels with contemporary advancements of women leaders in organisations.
