Physical traits and power: A surprising look at Fortune 500 CEOs

In the US, while only 5% of women are blonde, 48% of female Fortune 500 CEOs share this trait, suggesting a 'blonde privilege.' However, this privilege doesn't extend to height for women, contrasting sharply with male CEOs, where 58% are 6ft or taller, significantly higher than the national average of 14.5%. This disparity highlights distinct physical characteristics favored in leadership roles differently by gender.
