Summary/Abstract: Proficiency in managing one's impressions and discerning those of others has attained further importance in contemporary organizational conditions. Women and men require several equivalent skills like social presentability, noticeability, organizational conduct and political skills, plus capable job performances for career success. However, women require abilities that men don't, to handle the prejudices they countenance just for being women. they require skills to handle the understated and obvious gender jabs. this paper examines gender disparities in the use of impression management tactics in organizational milieu, why these skills are necessitated and what women must do to begin employing them. The findings offer improved grasp of organizational behaviour and specify that constant impression management ends in identity reformation.
