Résumé
More and more women are accessing positions of power across various industries and job levels yet there is still a dearth of women in elite executive roles. Previous research in the social sciences has revealed little or no evidence of a difference in management style between men and women; however representations of leadership are often gendered. The purpose of our research is to explore a possible evolution of the leadership model in France. A first study of how the French press portrays male and female leaders suggests a trend towards a non-gendered view of leadership. A second study was conducted amongst students in higher education to determine whether this trend was confirmed. The results have led to recommendations concerning the acquisition of leadership skills by future managers.
