RT Article T1 Weibliche Führungskräfte nachhaltig führen JF Verbum et ecclesia VO 44 IS 1 SP 1 OP 8 A1 Kessler, Martina 1961- LA German PB Univ. YR 2023 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1850500088 AB Women lead differently than men. In order for them to be able to lead sustainably as leaders, it is necessary to reflect on typical female traits. In doing so, the way of typical female leadership, which is biologically anchored, should be taken into account. The aim should be to deal with them appropriately and fairly so that they themselves can lead sustainably. The biological requirements in women are centered on community, relationships, social skills, and communication. These findings are reflected in psychology and linguistics and are also evident when women are described as leaders. Three examples from practice corroborate the findings and show the necessity to understand diversity as an opportunity, to regard female leaders as ‘normal’, to convey appreciation for their typical leadership style just as much as it is appreciated as for male leadership and to deal with female images of leadership and to enthrone female leaders. Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article is interdisciplinary in that it combines insights from biology, psychology, linguist and management theory.
