Women bring something unique to the table. Women also lead differently and offer unique management and interpersonal skills. By understanding these skill sets, we can harness female intelligence and create thriving workplaces.  The "soft skills" that women tend to bring to the workplace, sometimes referred to as transformational leadership, frequently encourage motivation, performance, and communication. Since women typically excel in emotional intelligence when compared to their male peers, their leadership style can strengthen the employee work ethic, critical thinking skills, and collaboration, as reported in an article exploring the "hidden advantage" of women in leadership in Inc.

A 2016 55,000-person study conducted by the global consulting firm, Korn Ferry, across 90 countries, found that women outperformed men in 11 out of 12 emotional competence skills. Researchers found that when companies integrate these capabilities into the workplace, employees' needs, experiences, and talents are recognized, increasing workplace satisfaction and company success. Using emotional intelligence, workplaces can also solve problems before they emerge. Women tend to exemplify a strong sense of awareness; this allows them to pick up on smaller nuances while learning about and understanding their workers from a wider perspective. This awareness can prevent interpersonal conflicts, as a leader who observes and knows her team can see a problem developing and address it before it flares up.
