Field of Research Workplace management is a challenging task, especially when it involves the allocation of job responsibilities to different individuals. However, according to the data of Australian Bureau of Statistics (2012), if an organisation consists of management personnel mostly from only one type of gender, then it might limit the variety of ideas that emerge from managerial decision-making. Therefore, maintaining gender diversity in management teams is presently a core concern for many organisations (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2012). 2. Source of Secondary Data Two publically accessible sources where specific data can be found for the current topic are https://exchange.telstra.com.au/proud-among-world-leaders-gender-equality/, where gender diversity in Telstra has been illustrated with their success stories also report for past years are also available on there website and https://www.woolworthsgroup.com.au/icms_docs/195396_annual-report-2018.pdf, (P-3-11)where the 2018 annual report of Woolworths has been presented to give evidence of success of implementing gender diversity in their workplace. Both these sources can be used for examples to highlight the benefits of gender diversity in leadership management. 3. Research Questions i. What are the possible impacts of promoting gender diversity in the work culture on the company’s innovative thoughts and development? ii. What are the factors hindering the management team from implementing a gender diverse environment in the atmosphere of the company? Specific Research Question: What is the impact of gender diversity in leadership management? Variables: Gender diversity, Leadership management 4. Search Terms Gender diversity, leadership management, innovation in company, development of organisation environment 5. Information from Peer-Reviewed Scholarly Articles to be used in Literature Review According to Henry, Foss, Fayolle, Walker and Duffy (2015) and Ho, Li, Tam and Zhang (2015), gender diversity at any function of an organisation proves to be useful due to the division of labour and responsibilities of work between both the genders. Therefore, as suggested by Ruiz-Jimenez, del Mar Fuentes-Fuentes and Ruiz-Arroyo (2016), if people, from both masculine and feminine genders, are included in equal number into the management team, a pool of ideas can be brainstormed, which, as supported by Kelan and Wratil (2018), in turn, would lead to developing a better work culture and innovative thinking from all managers.

1.0 Introduction
    Managing the gender diversity at workplace has been one of the primordial tasks of the leaders
hip of organisational settings. As mentioned by Ruiz-Jimenez, Del Mar Fuentes-Fuentes and Ruiz-Arroyo (2016), creating gender diversity is beneficial as it offers consistent innovation and workplace creativity, ensures reduced gender gaps and promotes healthy workplace.
Posing in opposite direction to that of the arguments presented by Ruiz-Jimenez, Del Mar Fuentes-Fuentes and Ruiz-Arroyo (2016), Robert Jr, Dennis and Ahuja (2018) argued that gender diversity is not gender equality, as there are jobs, which requires specific gender staffs to get executed properly, as seen in female staffs being better nurses, while male staffs being better vehicle mechanics.
    In the proposed research, the areas of gender diversity in context of leadership management, which has not been explored through critical research studies, have been explored within a limited timeframe. Considering the diverse views revolving around gender diversity and leadership management, both Telstra and Woolworths have been selected. In order to form a firm foundation of generic data about the chosen topic of the proposed research, a critically assessed literature review is provided, in addition to which a research plan is also provided for deeper understanding.
2.0 Conceptual Framework
2.1 Gender Diversity
    Considering the fact that every specific gender have their mutual perception of the society, organisation and thought process, people from different gender are included within a specific setting to cater the diverse range of thought and perception for benefit. As supported by de Aquino and Robertson (2018), gender diversity refers to a specific setting, where people from different gender break the domination of specific gender and offer different approach for the same outcome, creating a comparative perspective for betterment. On the other hand, Dworkin and Schipani (2018) argued that gender diversity is a strategic move to increase customer base and create goodwill in the market, posing as an organisation that has scope for both gender types.
2.2 Leadership Management
    The aspect of leadership management depends on the nature and size of respective organisations. As noted by Chou and Ramser (2019), the role played by leaders within an organisational setting does not depend on the designation; instead, it depends on the exertion of power over the staffs and the efficacy of management. As observed by Cheung, Yeung and Wu (2018), leaders are highly supported by organisational upper management, showing their trust in leaders, which leads to leaders ability to take decisions for the benefit of the organisation.
The leaders’ perception, as opined by Garcia-Solarte, Garcia-Perez de Lema and Madrid-Guijarro (2018), regulates the degree of gender diversity considered within organisations. The skills of the leaders, as mentioned by Kelan and Wratil (2018), in managing the diverse gender staffs and the perception about the benefits of gender diversity determines the nature of workplace culture.
2.3 Organisational Innovation
    Organisational innovation refers to the use of latest technology and strategies, which are incorporated in the context of market changes or need for refined performance. As stated by Brimhall and Mor Barak (2018), organisational innovations, make organisations capable of taking advantage of the latest market trends and the exclusiveness of the approach, offering something new that the rivals in the market cannot provide. As opined by Said, Galal, Joekes and Sami (2018), the preference for attaining gender diversity is also aimed at organisational innovation, as staffs from diverse genders are considered to be sources of innovative approach to situations and organisational refinements.
2.4 Organisational Environment
    Organisational environment refers to the surrounding, in which an organisation performs. As identified by Annabi and Lebovitz (2018), organisational environment is of two types- internal environment and external environment. As stated by Kara, Kim, Lee and Uysal (2018), the internal environment of an organisation refers to the working atmosphere, the culture and the functional system within the organisation, mainly concerned with the performance.
The external environment of a business organisation, as mentioned by Alhejji, Ng, Garavan and Carbery (2018), refers to the marketplace, where the organisations compete with one another in order to get the highest market share. It not only requires the internal performance, but also positive customer perception, innovative approach, for which gender diversity is essential within the organisation.
3.0 Literature Review
    Gender diversity at the workplace has been considered as a profound influence of workplace culture development for better performance and corporate culture development. As opined by Kato and Kodama (2018) as well as Grosser and Moon (2019), the inclusion of gender diversity-oriented culture is capable of generating cash flow circulate through both –male and female staffs, ensuring economic balance and promotion of gender equality and gradual restraining of male dominance in career pursuing, considering the gender diversity as a means of Corporate Social Responsibility. Kato and Kodama (2018) and Grosser and Moon (2019) are of the belief that gender diversity acquiring at organisations generate goodwill, which also helps in organisational benefits.
    Taking note of the workplace issues arising out of gender diversity, as opined by Iskandar, Rahim, Yussoff and Bakar (2018) as well as Grey and Janus (2018) gender diversity in organisation create communication gap between two different types of genders, which ultimately brings down the performance level and hence, gender diversity is only a means of providing employment to diverse gender staffs and has very little to do with organisational performance improvement, although Grey and Janus (2018) focus...
