The present global business landscape is presently witnessing a comparative rise in the status of women at global leadership positions in comparison to the past. However, this growth is not an impressive one if comparisons are drawn in relation to their male counterparts in every field. Whether one talks about global leadership positions, higher managerial designations, pay scales, upward promotional moves, selection for higher and middle level designations, international assignments and status in society, the overall scenario for women is not particularly good. Considering the present situation, the present research paper seeks to explore the present status of women in global leadership positions, reasons for lesser number of females at global leadership positions, factors motivating women for choosing international career avenues, and the challenges/barriers faced by them in their journey of going international. The paper also addressed the futuristic opportunities for women in global leadership positions and determines their perspective to be a global leader. The research paper is based upon the secondary data available in the domain and reflects upon the present status, perspectives and opportunities available to global women leaders. It also throws light upon the several psychological, personal, organisational, social, family-related, as well as economic barriers despite which the capable women leaders escalate their career ladder in senior leadership positions globally.
