The article I read today is called "Women 'Take Care,' Men 'Take Charge': Managers' Sterotypic Perceptions of Women and Men Leaders" by Jeanine L Prime and Nancy M Carter. This article is ultimately all about gender stereotyping. The article says that because of the beliefs of the great gender difference is so noticeable, society frequently likes to blame the gender inequalities for the reason why we hear of the differences in the skills and traits of women and men. The article discusses conducted studies showing that all the records of gender inequality are oh so easy to assume but not as easy to support with actual evidence. Studies they've shown prove that women are a lot more like men than they are different, in both personality traits and cognitive functioning. This article is proof the harsh women stereotyping in the business and leadership world. Global views implicate the beliefs that women carry less leadership qualities as opposed to typical men and also that female leaders are less task -oriented than leaders in general. Women notice the different biased behavior they are treated with based on their gender, and conclude these reasons are what is stopping their career advancements. The main point of this article is how gender stereotyping describe men to be genuinely fit with the qualities for leadership and describe women being unfit for a leadership position. It goes on to describe their studies, research, gender behaviors and beliefs. I think this article is an excellent source for my paper dealing with gender stereotyping.
