Abstract:
This review paper explores the evolving dynamics of gender and leadership, emphasizing how gender-inclusive leadership shapes organizational culture. The study begins by examining the historical perspectives on leadership and gender, highlighting how traditional views have often marginalized diverse leadership styles. It then delves into modern leadership paradigms, showcasing the positive cultural shifts from gender diversity in leadership roles. The discussion extends to the impact of gender-inclusive leadership on innovation, employee engagement, and organizational performance. Key findings indicate that inclusive leadership fosters a more collaborative and adaptive culture and enhances innovation and employee morale. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for organizations to promote gender-inclusive leadership and suggests future research directions further to understand the complex interplay between gender and leadership.
