Top Army general raises concerns about women Colonels' leadership skills

A top Army general has raised concerns about eight women Colonels, citing "mundane ego issues" and "lack of empathy." This review follows the promotion of 108 women officers to Colonel after a Supreme Court ruling in 2020. Lieutenant General Rajeev Puri highlighted issues such as poor interpersonal relations and a tendency to complain. He noted that these women officers often adopt a "my way or highway" approach and lack experience in command roles. The Army remains committed to integrating women officers, emphasizing ongoing training to improve leadership skills. The review aims to address these concerns and enhance the effectiveness of women in command positions.
