TY - JOUR A1 - Streibich, Brigitte A1 - Desjardins, Christoph T1 - Gender, self-image and leadership: a gender-specific comparison of the self- images of female and male leaders T2 - Journal of Applied Leadership & Management N2 - Are men and women in leadership roles different? How do the self-images of male and female leaders differ? Is there a linkage between leadership, gender and self-image? Based on a omprehensive overview of relevant theoretical concepts and scientific literature, the Leadership Tasks Survey was used for a self- assessment of 91 German leaders. The collected data was processed and statistically analyzed. The concepts of leadership, gender and self-image are strongly linked to each other. Differences exist between the self-images of men and women in leadership positions with women having the more negative, self-critical self- image. These differences were found to be statistically significant.
