Evidence shows that neurologically, biologically and organizationally, there are profound differences between men and women. Research strongly supports the economic advantages of Women in leadership roles. A few of the reasons for this are:
- Women’s brains have a larger prefrontal cortex and process information differently, providing advantages for multi-tasking and relationship building.
- Women’s brains have more white matter which connects brain centers. They pick up signals across a broad spectrum which allows them to simultaneously factor in the needs of all participants and all aspects of a situation.
- Women have more connectors between the right and left brain allowing them to move from analysis to creativity and back more easily. Women can analyze a problem and access a creative solution more readily.
- With a predominence of estrogen over testosterone, women’s risk preferences are found to be more stable.
