If we give women the same rights as men when it comes to leadership, we’ll wind up with even more incompetent people in power, says a personality science expert

Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic is an international authority in psychological profiling, talent management, leadership development, and people analytics.

In this op-ed, he writes that from a moral standpoint, women may deserve the right to be as incompetent as men — but it would be better to elevate the standards for leaders, regardless of their gender. Most of the soft skills needed to lead effectively — emotional intelligence, self-awareness, humility, and coachability — are much more feminine, and if we selected leaders on the basis of these traits, we would not only end up with more female leaders, but also more effective leaders.Recent discussion of gender equality tends to assume that the world would be fairer if we allow women to have the same rights as men. However, when it comes to leadership, this would be quite problematic.

. Although from a moral standpoint women may deserve the right to be as incompetent as men, it would be better to elevate the standards for leaders, regardless of whether they are female or male. Here are some of the major problems with applying the same criteria we use when we select men to leadership roles to our selection of women.

First, our typical leadership choices — which are predominantly masculine — are influenced by irrelevant factors, such as height. For instance, taller men areas both more powerful and intelligence, which leads to the assumption that they are also better leaders. Men are generally taller than women, and height strongly influences the results of political elections, particularly in America.
