Abstract

In a previous post I discussed the findings of a scholarly article published by D. Scott DeRue and Susan J. Ashford (2010) titled "Who Will Lead and Who Will Follow? A Social Process of Leadership Identity Construction in Organizations." They explored how a leadership identity exists at the individual, relational, and collective levels, and how leadership must be claimed by a leader but also granted by followers. In contemporary settings, leadership is more fluid and these roles can change according to context. This post looks at specific challenges for women when it comes to navigating leadership contexts and how we can continue to support women as they develop their own leadership identities.
