Abstract: The purpose of the article is to emphasize the need for effective leaders in business systems, as well as to present an overview of perspectives to narrow the research gap and to facilitate differences between female and male leaders. It is in every organization's interest to have effective leaders in charge to comprehend situational variables and maximize their potential and performances; therefore, a better understanding of it becomes necessary. Despite a clear need for effective leadership, there is still a lack of knowledge is there a difference in effectivity based on a leader's gender. The study hypothesizes that business systems have the same performances regardless of the leader's gender. For the study, the behavior leadership research was conducted using the Leadership Behavior Questionnaire, and respondents were female and male leaders from the private, public, and non-governmental industry. This paper aims to provide an overview of the gender differences in leadership behavior using research analysis. The purpose of the article is to emphasize the need for effective leaders in business systems, as well as to present an overview of perspectives to narrow the research gap and to facilitate differences between female and male leaders. Conducted research showed some less significant differences in leadership task-oriented and relationship-oriented behavior regarding the leader's gender. The article may contribute to the scholars, managers, innovation management, and the general public.
