Sexes disagree on who makes the best leaders

The
battle of the sexes still rages on in the nation’s boardrooms, with most men
thinking males make the best leaders, while most women disagree.

A
survey released today for the international leadership summit Leaders in
London, shows 84 per cent of men firmly believe that men make the best leaders,
but 59 per cent of women disagree.

Interestingly,
the number of women that believed men made the best leaders was more than
double the number of men that thought women were better.
