Besides that most parties believe that women are not able to play a good role as a leader. We truly do not agree with gender-based discrimination because of the most important thing for effectiveness in management is about how leaders can manage the organization. So, whether men or women gender is not important because both men and women have their own strengths. Whatever men can do in management, organization and business, women also can do in the globalization era now. There is no empirical support for the belief that men are more qualified to be leaders, and laws now exist in the United States to stop sex‐based discrimination.
