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?
