Abstract

From business boardrooms to senate chambers, universities to the courts, philanthropic groups to religious institutes, men are far more likely than women to be leaders. Society has determined that only men make good leaders, and this notion has denied easy access for women seeking leadership roles as they do not fit in the norm. Women with leadership aspirations continue to struggle for leadership positions in all spheres of governance in both the public and private sector however, the journey is never easy. Such bias against women is detrimental to the survival of all kinds of organisations in the growing digital era. For this reason, the chapter will specifically focus on women leadership and the challenges they face due to masculine workplace culture. It will also highlight the necessity of hiring women as leaders in the growing digital world. Recommendations will be stated that can assist the organisations in redesigning their workplace culture to support the initiative of providing opportunities to women and take up leadership positions for the future survival of organisations.
