I completely agree with the conclusions of Deepak's cited article that women leaders are as effective as men, only that mostly men bar their way to the top (what is called "glass ceiling"). It seems that women as the weak partner in most life situations need the trust of men to reach their goals; trusting others is often reciprocated, tends to ascend mutually and reward partners. Mostly this does not cause a powerful man to promote the woman partner, but when women nevertheless got to the top they tend more than men to high-morally trust followers and this makes them more effective.
