According to research on leadership,
A) men tend to be more effective leaders than women.
B) U.S. employees tend to prefer working for female bosses.
C) women show more desirable leadership styles and traits compared to males.
D) women and men face equivalent levels of difficulty in attaining leadership roles.
Answer: C
Rationale: Surveys suggest that in the United States, employees prefer to work for male bosses and women still face more difficulties in attaining leadership positions. However, this stereotype does not stand up to investigation. On average, women show more desirable leadership styles and traits than men, and both men and women attain the same levels of effectiveness.
