STEREOTYPES AND GENDER DIFFERENCES IN LEADERSHIP
Abstract
Stereotypes are beliefs towards certain groups that are formed based on mental representations. Some researchers have proven that preference for male leaders is associated with a management style that defines management in male terms. We can state that in Romania there is openness for the promotion of women in business and in management positions but the average number is still low compared to men.Â
