AB  - Although, most of the literature in leadership does not assert gender differences in effectiveness, there still remains a gender imbalance in most leadership positions. The purpose of this study is to ascertain that while women leaders are quite similar to men in leadership effectiveness, they tend to have styles of leadership that are well suited for contemporary organizational needs. Through investigating studies and theories focused on gender, leadership and the school administration, this outlines leadership perspectives that verify effective women’s leadership and clarifies characteristics of women leadership styles. Finally, this study confirms a constructive match between women’s leadership styles and the demands of the current educational reform for school leadership.
