Abstract

The influx of women into leadership, management, and idea leader roles is clearly one of the significant aspects of globalization over the last 50 years. While women are still underrepresented in global business and politics, their influence on reconceptualizing leadership models is undeniable. While it would be difficult to precisely determine a “feminist” perspective on leadership, idea leaders such as Follett, Kanter, and Wheatley have influenced the concept and practice of leadership beyond any gender construct. The unique themes within their work are present in the global dialogue that is reframing how we think about leadership. This paper will discuss 1) common themes related to power, relationships, conflict, change, and motivation that are found in writings of these idea leaders; 2) implications these themes have for reframing leadership in the context of worldly leadership; and 3) how these “feminist” perspective themes, frameworks, and implications compare to some exploratory data.
