| Sumario: | Although in recent decades some progress has been made regarding gender equality as a fundamental human right to build a prosperous and sustainable future, there are still certain difficulties expressed, for example, in the field of economic participation and opportunities in the labor market. The study aims to find out the prevailing perception among leaders, including women, about female leadership skills. The scenario that presents this phenomenon and the accessibility of women to leadership positions, in the case studied, is described. By applying an instrument validated for this purpose, it was found that the number of women in leadership positions decreases as the organizational hierarchy increases, revealing a vertical segregation of female leadership. However, the representation of women in the organization under study is higher than average, they reach a leadership position at a later age than men and take more years to reach a leadership position than their male peers. The perception of female leadership competencies did not vary with gender, while male and female leaders had a positive perception of their female peers. |
