leadership and Diversity




Introduction.

leadership is to some extent of social construct, situated in time and place and impacted by personality. This paper plans to recognize, test, and study the assumptions upon which to explore leadership and diversity theories including equality approaches, gender and ethnicity. diversity leadership addressees, how leaders at all positions and association levels shape the effect of diversity elements in the powers under their direction. initiative practices can direct the manner in which these dynamics advance and the manner by which these dynamic impact on work group performance

Successful leaders and directors can esteem and regard all their staff, independent of distinction, and empower them to understand their potential. They perceive that unhelpful and unchallenged attitude of mind and convictions about the capacities of those differences may ruin enrollment and thus deprive their team of excellence. moreover, Diversity leadership is an attention regarding the social personalities and bigger sociocultural setting of which leaders are part as well. Recognizing the inter sectionality of gender and ethnic personalities with leader identity, and the significance of lived experiences associated with minority status enables us to ask questions about how social justice, humane, and collectivist orientations informs the exercise of leadership, decision making and managing of work group teams within an organization.


Gender inequality is a broadly discussed topic over the world particularly in diversity and equality leadership studies, there have been different laws that have pass to address this issue and primly the United Nations has put gender equality and woman empowerment as one of the millennium development goals. Managing equality and diversity at the working environment from a gender based view differs from the apparent difference of gender from one society to the next. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, woman are just permitted to work in a segregated spot from men in view of the strict shari’a law  (Doumato, 1992 ).
