Business organizations have recently begun to recognize the value of female leadership and management. Organizations with female leadership have a much more positive environment as compared to organizations with only male leaders. The presence of women provides important benefits at all levels of management and across all sectors. Women leaders have proved to be better mentors and guides to junior employees as compared to men. Although women are holding prominent positions in the management sector in greater numbers, there is a long way to go to achieve the closure of gender gap. Considerable efforts have been taken around the world to have an equitable workplace, but professional women still have to face barriers to becoming recognized leaders. Professional women fail to get their deserved respect and are unable to find sufficient opportunities for advancement due to the deeply ingrained attitudes and biases against women in the society. Being a good leader needs dexterity, and for women in these leadership positions, the task may be even more daunting. It is a fact that women have to take a lot of effort to prove themselves more than their male counterparts. They have to put in more hard work for gaining the respect of their peers. These women possess certain common strengths which help them in achieving success in their areas of work. The present study is aimed at finding out the strengths as well as weaknesses of successful women executives working at senior positions in different sectors
