University of Mannheim and completed the Berlin Doctoral program of Economics and Management Science. Ahrens then joined the German Federal Ministry of Finance in Berlin as a political advisor in business restructuring.

This source was chosen because it states with information and credibility, why there is such a difference between the number of males and female CEOs. This source is helpful because it shows examples of how female CEOs are getting treated differently from male CEOs, and how the way that they are perceived by others effects how far they can reach in such leadership positions.

Headley uses new studies to discuss and mention why female CEOs are at risk more than men and how that plays a role in why there are more male CEOs than female CEOs and females in leadership positions. The views in this article correlate with the views in Ahrens article and Mohans article because they both also describe that one of the reasons that women are not as successful in attaining CEO leadership positions is due to the fact that they ar>
