This paper examines various dimensions of firms to find any potential significant differences regarding leader gender. Multiple firms were paired together within the same industry, each with a female leader and the other with a male leader. Social Role Theory was applied along with other stereotypes that set expectations or assumptions for certain leader behaviors based on gender. Firm growth was assessed with a focus on net assets, gross profit, and net income. Employee satisfaction and retention were analyzed in their own dimensions as well. There was no statistically significant differences, however, the data subjectively suggested there was a difference in leaders and their success.
