Abstract

In earlier chapters we have articulated the observations and experiences that have been influential in convincing us that a study of women leaders can provide fresh insights into understandings of leadership. These formed a series of questions that guided the development of this book including: 1. Why are women leaders still seen as ‘out of place’ (West and Zimmerman, 2005)? 2. What is currently being written and said about women leaders? 3. Why does the leadership literature continue to be dominated by representations of the leader as individual (male) hero? 4. How are women leaders being represented? 5. What can we learn about leadership by studying it in alternative settings? 6. How can we further the development of new approaches to leadership? 7. How can we better reflect women’s experiences of leadership in the practice of leadership development?
