Abstract
The most vigorous and highly regarded title in business is the CEO, the chief executive officer. When thinking of a chief executive officer, CEO, what comes to mind. Do you think of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet, Tim Cook, and Mark Zuckerberg automatically? What do these individuals all have in common? They are all men. There is very limited diversity in the executive office of American corporations and an underrepresentation of women in these positions. In business school, individuals are taught to have a mindset of a CEO however, the examples that are given are of those who are men. Female CEOs and business leaders have to approach these positions differently due to the patriarchal society that still exists today in business practices. Due to the lack of females in the position, their is limited foundation research on the psychological mindset of women CEOs. Holistically, gender bias negatively affects women's corporate management success. Thus, this paper's purpose is aimed at analyzing how women achieve success in the field in spite of gender bias, historical disadvantage, the glass ceiling phenomena, and dominant gender stereotypes.
