Its purpose is to eliminate discrimination against women by providing them with similar opportunities for reaching leadership position and practice transformational leadership effectively.

The result of the study could provide a better understanding of the barriers that effects the women leaders in becoming successful. The study is useful for mangers to take necessary actions to minimise the effect and provide them with the proper training that will help to develop a positive attitude for work as well as for their co- workers and ensure a healthier work atmosphere. The insights can be used by companies to foster gender equality and by companies and governments to develop appropriate and effective measures to overcome these barriers.
