In recent decades, globalization has transformed organizational structures, necessitating a team-based decision-making approach. This shift has posed new challenges for HR and organizational behavior experts. Workforce diversity, particularly the surge of educated women in leadership roles, is notable. Taking India as an example, this paper explores the rise of successful female managers, analyzes the link between company performance, gender, and national culture, and proposes strategies to boost female representation at the corporate top.
