Abstract

Discusses general skills clusters identified by other researchers as necessary for leadership success. Reports a US study by questionnaire survey on the specific skills viewed by male and female managers as essential for top management posts. Reveals a great deal of agreement, but women as well as men harbour stereotypes of women as being less able to handle their emotions under stress, less career‐committed and not such good team‐players.
