Reconstructing static images of leadership: An application of positionality theory
HEADNOTE
It draws on Positionality theory to moves beyond earlier research on women leaders that looked at gender exclusively instead exploring several different conditions that affect people's belief systems (gender, race/ethnicity, role within the institution, field of study, paradigm, level of administrator). The study entailed an ethnographic study of a community college, interviewing 36 faculty and administrators examining leadership beliefs and contextual conditions that impact diverse perspectives. Results suggest that various aspects of people's background appear to be related to their leadership beliefs. Findings illustrate the promise of Positionality theory for understanding multiple philosophies of leadership.
Executive Summary
HEADNOTEThis paper contributes to the mounting evidence that leadership is interpreted uniquely by diverse groups of people.
