Despite progress, gender gap in leadership still persists, a new study has found. 

According to the study by researchers of University at Buffalo School of Management, men are more likely than women to emerge as leaders. 

The research team led by doctoral student Katie Badura and Emily Grijalva, PhD, assistant professor of organization and human resources in the UB School of Management discovered that although the gender gap has narrowed in recent decades, it still persists. "As a society, we've made progress towards gender equality, but clearly we're not quite there. Our results are consistent with the struggle many organizations face today to increase diversity in their leadership teams," said Badura.
