The highest educational qualifications for women leaders’ are bachelor’s degree. Women leaders in Aklan, Philippines were qualified to handle administrative positions. Results revealed that the leadership practices of women leaders in Aklan were high. The majority of people make the assumption that women will excel at nurturing competencies such as developing others, inspiring and motivating others, relationship building, collaboration and teamwork. But those competencies with the largest positive differences are taking initiative, displaying integrity and honesty, and driving for results. In today’s’ global competitiveness, women leaders face higher standards and lower rewards than male leaders. Respondents’ comments revealed that women leaders are subjected to higher competency standards. On top of doing their job, women must prove that they can lead over and over again and constantly manage stereotypical expectation.
