Several forms of gender bias exist in business leadership:
1. Stereotyping: Women are often stereotyped as being less competent or less suited for leadership roles compared to men. This can lead to fewer mentorship opportunities and slower career progression. 2. Pay Disparity: Women frequently earn less than their male counterparts for the same roles and responsibilities. 3. Promotion Bias: Men are often promoted based on potential, while women are promoted based on proven performance. 4. Work-Life Balance Assumptions: Women are often assumed to prioritize family over career, which can deter employers from offering them high-profile projects or leadership roles.
