Abstract
Some previous studies have proposed the limitations and inability to provide support of women leadership by comparing it to men authority. Meanwhile, this study would like to show that women leadership allows support for the improvement of employees performance. This current research is a qualitative study. Literature review is implemented to collect and analyze the results of previous studies. Research is conducted by survey in a private high school in Bandung managed by a women principal. Literature review showed that women leadership in educational organization implies effective (honest, open, impressive advocacy skill) and flexible (informal approach, campaigning diversity and democracy) communication that develops the employees creativity and expression and leads to the formation of social harmony and unity among the employees, and also a conducive working environment. Hence, this study concludes that women have the ability to lead and women leadership may improve the employees performance in educational organization.
