description 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.

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.

The perception of female leadership competencies did not vary with gender, while male and female leaders had a positive perception of their female peers. Si bien en las últimas décadas se han conseguido algunos avances referentes a la igualdad de género como derecho humano fundamental para construir un futuro próspero y sostenible, aún existen ciertas dificultades expresadas, por ejemplo, en el ámbito de participación económica y oportunidades en el mercado laboral. El estudio pretende conocer la percepción que predomina entre los líderes, incluyendo las mujeres, sobre las competencias de liderazgo femenino. Se describe el escenario que presenta este fenómeno y la accesibilidad de las mujeres a los puestos de liderazgo, en el caso estudiado. Mediante la aplicación de un instrumento construido y validado para tal fin, se encontró que el número de mujeres en puestos de liderazgo se reduce en la medida en que se incrementa la jerarquía organizacional, revelando una segregación vertical del liderazgo femenino. Sin embargo, la representatividad de mujeres en la organización objeto de estudio es mayor al promedio, alcanzan un puesto de liderazgo a una edad más avanzada que los varones y tardan más años en alcanzar un puesto de liderazgo que sus pares masculinos. La percepción de competencias del liderazgo femenino no varió con el género, en tanto que hombres y mujeres líderes tuvieron una percepción positiva de sus pares femeninos.
