Abstract:

This paper is to examine women's involvement in corporate leadership all over the world. It is based on recent researches, studies, and questionnaires conducted by various researchers and institutes, Many organizations and unions promoted the involvement of women in leadership, and it has been proved that the diversity of gender in the board of directors will improve the quality of decision makings and improve the economy worldwide. However, even though the involvement of women in leadership has been suggested in many guidelines, the percentage of women leaders is still low, and it is impossible to produce impacts. Thus, this document highlights the current situation worldwide, the characteristics of women leaderships, challenges that the women leaders face in leadership and how the women leaders will give an impact on the corporate world.
