Women leaders can serve as powerful change agents by leveraging strategies that emphasize collaboration, inclusivity, and advocacy. Harrell (2022) explains that successful change leadership requires vision, persistence, and the ability to bring people together, all of which are traits women leaders often demonstrate. By clearly communicating the purpose of change and building buy-in across diverse stakeholders, women can help organizations navigate transitions more effectively. 

 Srivastava and Sherman (2015) found that female managers can narrow the gender wage gap by advocating for fair pay practices and serving as role models for equitable advancement. This highlights how women act as change agents not only in driving organizational initiatives but also in challenging cultural and structural biases.
