PLP 4 Laya Kiani Oshtorjani HROB*2010 PLP 4: Gender and Leadership Time to complete Trial A: 69 seconds Time to complete Trial B: 115 seconds Throughout human history, there have been disagreements over gender and leadership. In light of the long history of men in leadership potions, leadership abilities are typically associated with masculinity and are frequently perceived negatively when demonstrated by women. I’m trying to practice gender balance in leadership and change my perspective as a woman regarding how gender affects leadership approaches. This test shows that I still had a biased association with men and leadership, which may be a product of outdated preconceptions and personal experiences from my home country, Iran. In trial A, I could easily choose the qualities That are associated with men or leaders, including leadership, ambition, and tenacity. I firmly believe that, in addition to gender features, these qualities make up the core traits of a good leader apart from the gender role. I found it difficult to decide in a matter of moments between the other words, such as supporter, understating, and sympathetic; nonetheless, I ended up choosing female or supporter. mainly because the majority of the females in my life, including my mother, aunts, and closest friends, have always supported my choices. Men were less emotional and more logical, but women responded to negative occurrences with nurturing and compassionate actions. It wasn't particularly challenging for me to categorize names like Donna, Josh, and Andrew because I've come to realize that some names are universally associated with a particular gender.

PLP 4 Laya Kiani Oshtorjani HROB*2010 It took longer to finish Trial B. Understanding the connection between male and supporter as well as female and leader was the most difficult component. I was raised in a Middle Eastern culture where it is often believed that women should focus on supporting their family members by carrying out their maternal and domestic tasks instead of taking on leadership roles. According to my own experience, the middle eastern community distinguishes between leadership and support by giving autonomous males the role of leadership and classifying women as dependable people who simply offer assistance. These evaluations did not come as a huge surprise to me, and the outcomes were somewhat anticipated due to social stigmas. Although there were gender inequities all around me when I was growing up in the Middle East, I have developed new perspectives on how women's leadership affects society based on western ideals and standards. The linkages in both trials demonstrated that some gender preconceptions persist, even in contemporary western nations, and that more work needs to be done to counteract the impact of societal and gender stigmas on leadership. My upbringing's morals and societal ideas are different from the values of the country I currently reside in. I am therefore still working on changing my perspective and picking the best course of action in terms of leadership and gender. My gender associations are not accurately reflected by this test. In addition, I was unable to think because of the time limits, and I was rushing to finish the trial without having enough time to consider my options. As a leader, I think it is crucial to combat gender bias, particularly when it comes to responsibilities for family
