Can different frameworks of intervention be successful in increasing the number of women leaders in the Klang Valley, Malaysia? This study aims to identify whether there is a significant relation between education and work experience, or rather, which specific qualities make individuals likely to aspire to the position of a leader, or which digital qualities would be important for effective and responsible leadership. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect data from 30 women entrepreneurs and then the data collected were subjected to descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. The study suggests that both education (B = 0.047, p < 0.01) and business experience (B = 0.034, p < 0.05) significantly enhance leadership development. Such findings reinforce calls to policymakers to consider increasing training and mentorship, particularly on the side of digital literacy for female entrepreneurs and preparing them to face future problems.
