Abstract
COVID-19 has shown the world that the qualities that make women excellent caregivers make them exceptional leaders, especially in chaotic circumstances. Usually, women’s leadership and feminine leadership are mistakenly considered to be the same thing. As such, any traits of “feminine leadership” are somehow equated as inherently a women’s attribute, and even antagonistic to men. In reality, this is not a matter of just women’s characteristics, but it is a matriarchal aspect of human behavior that is more character-based rather than gender-based. looking at the global response to COVID-19 reveals that feminine leadership portrayed by female and male leaders are shining exceptionally. A review of female leaders’ performance during the COVID-19 pandemic, including Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, Angela Merkel of Germany, as well as Iceland, Finland, and Canada Leaders, puts the effectiveness of traditional presuppositions about patriarchal characteristics such as Masculinity, competitiveness, aggressiveness, and decisiveness into question. Some countries inherently provide a foundation for cultivating leadership styles that involve compromise and collaboration rather than autocracy and aggression. This infrastructure inspires a political culture in which valuable femininity features and power are not in contradiction. Interestingly, feminine leadership is not about countries that have women leaders. Canada’s performance is better than other countries in controlling the surge of the COVID pandemic. The feminine leadership style empowered Canadians to have a more comprehensive view of human needs to manage effectively during this extremely chaotic situation.
