ABSTRACT

Based on the three components of the evidence (what is published in the literature, the values and preferences and the experience), the differentiating factors in the leadership skills and attitudes between the gender roles socially assigned to a person according to their biological characteristics and that are encoded in male-female. The literature reports that there are more similarities than differences in the leadership of men and women; there are situations conditioned to the context and age, and only significant differences have been reported in verbal, visuospatial and mathematical ability. But, in the light of publications based on meta-analysis, claims about large differences in leadership styles between genders are disproved. The values and preferences of people are configured over time according to the context in which they live and generates that certain ideas and perceptions are privileged, giving voice to stereotypes about female and male leadership, elements that are not reflected in published studies. Finally, the experience as the third component of the evidence, briefly exposes the personal experiences of some leaders that are published in the literature.
