Abstract

This study explores the challenges faced by women in upper management roles and examines the factors that influence their performance in top leadership positions. It investigates the issues women encounter in the workplace, the barriers affecting their career advancement, and the obstacles they face in pursuing leadership opportunities. The research, based on a survey of 253 participants from various sectors in senior management, highlights the ongoing struggle women face to overcome gender discrimination in male-dominated environments. We specifically analyze the direct effects of the "glass ceiling," employee engagement, and teamwork on women's leadership styles. Our findings reveal a positive impact on women's leadership development, suggesting that overcoming gender-based distractions can significantly enhance their career progression. The study provides valuable insights into how women can cultivate their leadership skills and advance in their careers despite societal challenges.
