Abstract: This study explores the correlation between gender diversity in corporate leadership and financial distress in the business sector. The research aims to understand the role of gender balance in corporate stability and resilience, hypothesizing a potential inverse relationship with financial distress. The methodology includes a purposive sampling of firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Market, utilizing logistic regression models and analysis. Results suggest that firms with a higher proportion of women in top leadership positions experience fewer instances of financial distress and demonstrate greater corporate stability. The findings point towards the efficacy of gender-balanced leadership teams in preventing financial turmoil, advancing our understanding of diversity's role in enhancing organizational sustainability.
