Fathering daughters can lead male CEOs to develop stronger gender-related attitudes and support for women's equality in business, human resources, and governance, according to research from Rotterdam School of Management. The study found that having daughters, and witnessing their experiences with gender disparities, encourages male CEOs to become more empathetic and involved in the gender equality cause. The research highlights the importance of personal relationships in shaping leaders' approaches to gender equality and suggests that efforts to promote gender egalitarianism should emphasize the personal stakes for male leaders.
