LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
SUMMARY: The article published in 2 October in the year of 2017 elucidated the
gender diversity and the several agendas of the gender diversity board. This article emphasizes
upon the inequality in the personal and as well as in the professional life of the employees. The
employment of the female has increased and they are joining in the several fields like politics,
law, corporate sectors and in other several kinds of professional occupations. This article
revealed some facts about that how the higher positions like senior board members and higher
authorities are heavily influenced by men (Ellison and Mullin 2014). The gender inequality
problem is the topic of discussion. The theories related to capitalism and government quotas are
differentiated from the aspects of shareholder resolution (Wilson 2014). The coordination only
can be conducted by the government and with the help of the policies and rules made by the
government of the country. The government of the Europe is very highly influencing about the
business and they not only regulate the process of the business but also assist the business to
achieve the growth that will ultimately develop the society. To reduce the gender diversity many
country’s governments are giving their focus on imposing some quotas to preserve the seats in
the corporates. According to the liberal approach the governments of UK and US are providing a
passive shell as a regulatory board and this is the peripheral role played by the government. The
political and market economy can be divided into three categories that are based on “varieties of
capitalization”, “liberal approach” and “coordinated approach”. The liberal approach emphasizes
upon the mutual understanding between government, business and the society, where through
interaction these three things are mutually set their objectives (Hunt, Layton and Prince 2015).
On another hand the coordinated economy gives the focus on the gender diversity and this is pro-
active in nature (McClelland and Holland 2015). The gender quotas appeared in Europe in the
year of 2001. Norway ascertains the rate of female participation and the rate is 40 percent. This

article reflects some data that related to the participation of the female employees in the
organization. The term “double glass ceiling” means female are appointing in less controlling
units and the female directors are getting more directorships than the male directors. The article
reflects the difference between the gender diversity and the shareholder resolutions.
Another article The Paradox of Diversity Initiatives established in the year of 21
September 2015. This article also deals with the gender diversity issues in the organization. In
this study the potentiality of the paradox of diversity management theory is discussed. The most
challenging task is to maintaining balanced gender equality in the organization. Effective human
resource strategy only can reduce the diversity of gender. The policies and the norms of the
strategy may reduce the diversity. The study emphasizing upon some hypothetical analysis that
are the initiatives based on the consciousness is more relevant to increase the proportion of
women employee. The preferential treatments can increase the number of the women employee.
Another hypothesis introduced by the author is that the individual employment should be based
on identity blind employment and should not depend on the identity or upon the gender. The
opportunity given by the organization should attract and enhance the employment that people
become interested to join that. The relationship moderator can be several types. If the
organizations provide good initiatives and benefits then the employment rate will be higher
rather than the preferential treatment (Guillaume 2017). The quota regulated by government may
ascertain the number of women employees and the number of sits for the women employees.
Women have the intention to get the employment through identity consciousness and the rate is
higher than the male employees.
Discussion: Authors are giving their attention to the history of the women employment and the
rate which is day by day increasing of women employment. There are so many countries who
