  • Abstract:

    The working life is slightly changing towards more equality between genders and role of women at charge is increasing. Plenty of studies have concentrated about men leaders due to available data, but the need to study women leaders have increased. In order to know more about women leaders this study focuses on communication style of the Finnish women leaders. The data was collected altogether from 164 women leaders. Finnish women leaders are using Enabling and Modelling transformational leadership style and having tendency to use Emphatic and Self-Controlled communication style. Results also indicated that highly transformational women leaders communicate differently than less transformational women leaders. Several statistically significant results emerged indicating that those highly transformational leaders are using more Impatient, Self-Controlled, Dominant and Clear communication styles than less transformational women leaders. The results and their applicability in the leadership training are discussed. © 2021 Proceedings of the 17th European Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance, ECMLG 2021.
