Povzetek

Na splošno velja prepričanje, da je lahko dober vodja samo moškega spola. Področje ženskega managerstva še vedno predstavlja neke vrste tabu, ki pa se v zadnjih nekaj letih uspešno razblinja. Tudi ženske se na tem področju vse bolj uveljavljajo in s tem uničujejo stereotipno prepričanje, da ne morejo biti uspešne managerke. Pri uveljavljanju in razbijanju stereotipov se srečujejo s številnimi preprekami, ki jim onemogočajo, da bi hierarhično napredovale tako hitro kakor njihovi moški kolegi. Med pomembnejše ovire vsekakor sodi stekleni strop, ki je posledica stereotipnega prepričanja, kam ženske sodijo in kaj naj bi bilo njihovo poslanstvo. Tiste ženske, ki uspešno premagujejo ovire na svoji managerski karierni poti, pa se morajo sprijazniti z resnico, da bodo za enako delo plačane manj kakor njihovi moški kolegi – ne glede na to, da so enako kvalificirane kakor moški kolegi. Kljub vsemu pa se delež žensk na vodilnih položajih zvišuje zaradi njihove izboljšane samozavesti, ki jo pridobivajo s svojimi sposobnostmi, z izobraženostjo, vedno bolj cenjeno empatijo, dobrimi sposobnostmi sodelovanja in s pripravljenostjo pomagati šibkim, ki danes pridobiva na pomenu. Pri delovanju in vodenju organizacije pa se soočamo tudi s kulturami, za katere so značilne različne vrednote, norme ter običaji. Pomembno je, da se kot manager izobražujemo tudi na tem področju, saj lahko zaradi svojega neznanja o kulturi nevede naredimo veliko škodo organizaciji. Pomembno je, da kulturno področje, na katerem poslujemo, dobro poznamo, se seznanimo s kulturnimi razlikami, saj lahko te povzročajo nevidne ovire pri uspešnem vodenju in poslovanju naše organizacije. Poleg tega pa poznavanje kulture danes pomeni vse večjo konkurenčno prednost. Ženske kot managerke se pri svojem delu srečujejo s preprekami, za katere velja, da so v posameznih kulturah tudi različne, na splošno pa so lahko enake. Tako v Sloveniji kakor v vseh skandinavskih državah se soočajo s stereotipnim prepričanjem, da se ne morejo primerjati z moškimi kolegi. Ta miselnost se počasi spreminja, ženske se tudi na tem področju uspešno približujejo moškim kolegom in dokazujejo, da so lahko enakopravne. Nadalje velja izpostaviti, da je vloga ženske kot managerke v skandinavskih državah večja kakor v Sloveniji, kar se kaže npr. z večjim deležem, ki ga predstavljajo ženske v vodstvenih strukturah podjetij.

Sekundarni povzetek:	It is a general belief that a good leader can only be male. The field of female management is still considered as a kind of taboo which is slowly being broken. Females are asserting themselves in this field and by doing this they are changing the stereotypical belief that women cannot be successful managers. While doing this they are faced with numerous obstacles which prevent them from progressing hierarchically as fast as their male colleagues. One of the most important obstacles is the glass ceiling which is the consequence of the stereotypical belief of where women belong and what their purpose is. Women who overcome all the obstacles on the way to their manager career have to face the fact that they will be paid less as their male colleagues despite having the same qualifications. The number of women occupying executive positions is nevertheless increasing. They are gaining confidence based on their abilities, education, empathy, ability to collaborate and their readiness to help the weak- qualities that are gaining importance in today's world. In business operations and in managing companies we come across different cultures which have different values, norms and customs. It is important for managers to educate themselves in this area since the lack of knowledge about a certain culture can unknowingly cause a lot of damage to an organization. It is important to thoroughly research the cultural background of the countries we are doing business with since cultural differences can cause invisible barriers for successful business operations and managing. Knowledge of culture is nowadays considered as increasingly important competitive advantage. Female managers are often faced with different barriers which can be different in certain cultures but are generally very similar. In Slovenia as well as in the Scandinavian countries they are stereotypically looked upon as not being able to match their male colleagues. However, this mentality is slowly changing since women are following the footprints of their male colleagues and proving that they can be equal. It has to be emphasized that the role of women as managers in Scandinavian countries is more prominent than the one of women managers in Slovenia which can be proved by e.g. by the larger share of women in the managing structures of companies.
