Abstract

Although there are many leadership frameworks, models, and theories, the majority of them were developed by men and are based on male-normed assumptions (Jogulu & Wood, 2006). There is clearly a gap in the literature in terms of individual and organizational leadership theories that focus on women. To help address this gap, in January 2014 a group of 70 scholars started an intensive collaboration to generate new theories of leadership for women. They will meet in Utah in May 2014 for a two-day theory building colloquium, titled “Advancing Theories of Women and Leadership.” The collaboration and May 2014 Colloquium will catalyze the refinement and/or creation of scholarly theories, generate focused and sustained research agendas, and advance the next generation of research related to women’s leadership and leadership development for girls and women. This proposed preconference is designed to build on and expand the work that began with the Colloquium. Conferees will have the opportunity to contribute their diverse views and perspectives to this important work. Goals for this preconference including mobilizing new and established scholars toward theory development, connecting scholars from different institutions and disciplines, and stimulating rigorous and sustained scholarly research on women and leadership.
