In this new age of social media connecting with the thought leaders that drive trends has never been easier for the global citizenry. The networks that span the globe inevitably draw the most talented to the the top of the tree where they attract millions of followers - even tens of millions of followers.

​

Twitter is a social platform often regarded as the best social media platform for breaking news and spreading information quickly around the globe as Twitter users are more likely to be plugged into the global news business and further propagate what they see on Twitter through other platforms and media including other social media, TV, Internet news sites, radio and otherwise.

​

Analysing the most followed Twitter accounts reveals a startling phenomenon - seen also on Instagram - the most followed Twitter accounts are heavily dominated by Women.

​

Of the 15 most followed Twitter accounts held by personalities fully 11/15 (equal to 73%+) are Women compared to only 4 held by men while of the Top 20 Twitter accounts held by personalities Women dominate with 13/20 (65%) of accounts.

​

It is increasingly clear that in this new inter-connected age the global populace are increasingly turning to Female Leaders to provide leadership and insights into varied industries.

​

Of course, a platform like Twitter is to some extent dominated by celebrities, however it is indeed instructive that as younger people look for leaders to follow the choice is increasingly Female.
