Book excerpt: Results indicated that those who led with relational authenticity were viewed as more likeable and desirable as a boss than those who did not, and were perceived as more trustworthy for their benevolence and integrity than those who did not. Results of moderated mediation models revealed that relational authenticity can hinder evaluations of women leaders, and that the source of adverse consequences is the enhanced association with gender stereotypes that occurs when women lead with relational authenticity. This was demonstrated by a penalty in judgments of competence and ability exacted from female but not male leaders who were relationally authentic. Further research is required to understand the complex interaction of leaders' relational authenticity and gender to influence followers' impressions and outcomes.

Book Synopsis Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? by : Robert Goffee
Download or read book Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? written by Robert Goffee and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2006-02-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many companies are managed not by leaders, but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. What does it take to be a real leader—one who is confident in who she is and what she stands for, and who truly inspires people to achieve extraordinary results? Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones argue that leaders don’t become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits. Rather, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers’ hearts, minds, and souls. They are skillful at consistently being themselves, even as they alter their behaviors to respond effectively in changing contexts. In this lively and practical book, Goffee and Jones draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy one’s unique leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: showing emotion and withholding it, getting close to followers while keeping distance, and maintaining individuality while “conforming enough.” Underscoring the social nature of leadership, the book also explores how leaders can remain attuned to the needs and expectations of followers. Why Should Anyone Be Led By You? will forever change how we view, develop, and practice the art of leadership, wherever we live and work.
Book Synopsis Gender Dimensions in Leadership by : S. Drijfhout
Download or read book Gender Dimensions in Leadership written by S. Drijfhout and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As ironic as it may seem, treating people kindly, fairly and humanely could just be the most innovative and competitive thing corporate leaders can do. Research links gender equality and a sense of belonging to thriving workplaces and better business outcomes. Leaders are critical to the success of DE&I. But much of the current rhetoric around 'fixing' women and blaming men, is failing everyone. Providing a GPS for everyone navigating gender bias and non-inclusivity in the workplace, this book has been designed to educate corporate leaders and coaches about the roadblocks to progress. It's also been designed to help DE&I and HR within organizations. Each chapter takes a deep dive into specific issues, business case studies, and ends with key self-reflective coaching questions. "The Covid pandemic has been a brutal stress-test of leadership, ... Broadening the leadership debate to bring in crucial issues of power, purpose and ethnic diversity as well as gender, Sarah Drijfhout's timely intervention ranks as an essential guide for leaders to an unfolding post-covid, post-#MeToo, post-BLM world." Global Peter Drucker Forum, former Observer's Management Columnist "A must read for Investors, Boards, CEOs and all managerial personnel in the workplace." Harvard Medical School, Department of Psychiatry "... a deep dive into underlying cultural and psychological barriers to equality in leadership."ICD International Business School, ParisWhen organizations ask us to only coach their women for leadership roles, they are on the wrong track. Policies which target women in isolation miss the point of equality and inclusion. Much of the gender inequality rhetoric has been focused on white women. This has been to the exclusion of others: women of color, men as distinct individuals, instead of a monolithic group, and other minorities. Denial around institutional and social issues across gender is leading to poor outcomes in many corporate entities. And while white men mostly have the power and influence in corporate leadership, better attempts should be made at properly engaging them, and everyone, in the gender equality discussion. "This book takes a conversation that can be uncomfortable for most male leaders to have and makes it easy for them to become part of that conversation, while helping their organizations become stronger in the process." Centre for Executive Coaching"Sarah Drijfhout insightfully explores the reality that men lose too when they lead in the absence of women peers." Inclusion Leader, OhioIf you want to lead and coach in an outstanding way, you need to understand the gender dimensions in leadership. This book will dispel many of the myths around gender and help you understand how perceived gender norms impact everyone's ability to show up authentically and productively. If you are a leader looking to develop once described as 'softer skills', now regarded as essential skills for corporate leaders, this book educates you on why gender plays a huge role in that, and why you need to understand that role. Reviewing the most up-to-date research, using real-world data, based on dozens of interviews with global corporate leaders, Gender Dimensions in Leadership is an excellent resource for accelerating your inclusivity goals as a leader. It gives you the support you need to solve the gender-equity-in-leadership challenge. It's a hugely comprehensive review of material on the topics of gender and leadership, and includes many scientific studies, leading academics' and thought leaders' observations, business practitioners' experiences and global consultancy survey data. A must-have resource for leaders!
Book Synopsis To Thine Own Self Be True? an Exploration of Authenticity by :
Download or read book To Thine Own Self Be True? an Exploration of Authenticity written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be authentic? Is authenticity an attribute of the individual, or do certain environmental factors facilitate or inhibit the enactment of the authentic self? This research proposes that authentic behavior is the subjective perception that one is behaving in a way that is in accordance with his or her core being. As such, sense of authenticity is considered an important component of the self. I present a theoretical model of the relationship between authenticity and the need for social approval. I analyze the reports of 194 survey respondents and interview data from 21 interviews. These quantitative and qualitative analyses suggest that individuals engage in authentic and inauthentic behavior for a variety of reasons. Specifically, three different behavioral motivations have been identified: (1) behavior motivated by pursuit of the greater social good or for purposes of social cohesion, (2) behavior motivated by pursuit of instrumental gains, and (3) behavior motivated by an internal standard of integrity. Demographic variables and psychological variables were also found to be important determinants of authentic behavior. Blacks reported lower need for social approval than whites, and subsequently higher reports of authentic behavior. Self-esteem emerged in the analyses as a powerful predictor of authentic behavior. In tandem, these results suggest that it may not be one's level of social power that determines his or her ability to behave in ways deemed authentic, but rather one's sense of freedom and confidence in oneself.
Book Synopsis Gender, Communication, and the Leadership Gap by : Carolyn M. Cunningham
Download or read book Gender, Communication, and the Leadership Gap written by Carolyn M. Cunningham and published by IAP. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender, Communication, and the Leadership Gap is the sixth volume in the Women and Leadership: Research, Theory, and Practice series. This cross-disciplinary series, from the International Leadership Association, enhances leadership knowledge and improves leadership development of women around the world. The purpose of this volume is to highlight connections between the fields of communication and leadership to help address the problem of underrepresentation of women in leadership. Readers will profit from the accessible writing style as they encounter cutting-edge scholarship on gender and leadership. Chapters of note cover microaggressions, authentic leadership, courageous leadership, inclusive leadership, implicit bias, career barriers and levers, impression management, and the visual rhetoric of famous women leaders. Because women in leadership positions occupy a contested landscape, one goal of this collection is to clarify the contradictory communication dynamics that occur in everyday interactions, in national and international contexts, and when leadership is digital. Another goal is to illuminate the complexities of leadership identity, intersectionality, and perceptions that become obstacles on the path to leadership. The renowned thinkers and scholars in this volume hail from both Leadership and Communication disciplines. The book begins with Sally Helgesen and Brenda J. Allen. Helgesen, co-author of The Female Vision: Women’s Real Power at Work, discusses the two-fold challenge women face as they struggle to articulate their visions. Her chapter offers six practices women can use to relieve this struggle. Allen, author of the groundbreaking book, Difference Matters: Communicating Social Identity, discusses the implications of how inclusive leadership matters to women and what it means to think about women as people who embody both dominant and non-dominant social identity categories. She then offers practical communication strategies and an intersectional ethic to the six signature traits of highly inclusive leaders. Each chapter includes practical solutions from a communication and leadership perspective that all readers can employ to advance the work of equality. Some solutions will be of use in organizational contexts, such as leadership development and training initiatives, or tools to change organizational culture. Some solutions will be of use to individuals, such as how to identify and respond productively to micro-aggressions or how to be cautious rather than optimistic about practicing authentic leadership. The writing in this volume also reflects a range of styles, from in-depth scholarship that produces new knowledge to shorter forums that feature interesting ideas worth considering.

Book Synopsis Heteronormativity in a Rural School Community by : Catherine Thompson-Lee
Download or read book Heteronormativity in a Rural School Community written by Catherine Thompson-Lee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an exploration of heteronormative discursive practices in the English countryside. A lesbian teacher describes her experiences in the rural school community in which she lived and worked. She prospered at the village school for almost ten years by censoring her sexuality and carefully managing the intersection between her private and professional identities. However, when a critical incident led to the exposure of her sexuality at school, she learned the extent to which the rural school community privileged and protected the heteronormative discourse. An autoethnographic method of inquiry provides intimate insight which is supported by external data, including email and text message correspondence. As the critical incident eventually became a police matter, police records and evidence from the UK Crown Prosecution Service were sought for use in the research. However, the collection of these data proved problematic, providing an unexpected development in the research and offering additional insight into the nature of rural life. This research offers a vivid insider perspective on the experiences of a lesbian teacher in a rural school community. It examines the incompatibility of private and professional identities, investigates the moral panic that surrounds teacher sexuality in schools and considers the impact of homophobic and heteronormative discursive practices on health, wellbeing and identity. Crucially, this research offers compelling insight into the steps that those in positions of power will take to protect and perpetuate the heteronormative discourse of rural life.
Book Synopsis The Woman’s Experience of Authenticity While in a Leadership Position by : Maxine Pegram
Download or read book The Woman’s Experience of Authenticity While in a Leadership Position written by Maxine Pegram and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the woman’s experience of authenticity while in a business leadership position. Ten women in leadership positions throughout the United States participated in this qualitative study, which includes how the intersection of gender, social norms, and stereotypes contribute to the woman’s experience of authenticity and inauthenticity as leaders. A narrative research design was used to examine and describe the female leaders’ perceptions of their experiences and the meaning they derived from those experiences. Parts of the interviews were produced structurally to show how themes were developed utilizing thematic and structural analyses to focus on specific content and context within the narrative. The themes identified were: (a) are self-accepting, (b) are fulfilled by authentic relationships with employees, (c) advocate for themselves, (d) believe mentoring female employees is an integral part of authenticity, and (e) understand the importance of self-care. Themes are discussed based on current literature on women in leadership positions. According to this study, the results further substantiate the need for a greater understanding of how authenticity is encouraged in the highest leadership positions and how authentic leaders can benefit the organization. Clinical and social implications are discussed, along with identified limitations and future research considerations.

Book excerpt: Just as the Wright Brothers combined science and practice to finally realize the dream of flight, Ryan and Robert Quinn combine research and personal experience to demonstrate how to reach a psychological state that elevates us and those around us to greater heights of achievement, integrity, openness, and empathy. It's the psychological equivalent of aerodynamic lift, and it is the fundamental state of leadership. This book draws on recent advances in positive psychology and organizational science to describe four questions that, when asked in any situation, will help us experience the fundamental state of leadership. Engaging personal stories illustrate how the Quinns and others have applied these concepts at work, at home, and in the community. --

Book Synopsis A Tale of Two Gender Roles by : Lindsay Rice Greenlee
Download or read book A Tale of Two Gender Roles written by Lindsay Rice Greenlee and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implicit activation of gender role stereotypes is under-investigated in the research literature. The current study fills this gap by examining the implicit activation of gender role stereotypes in a hypothetical hiring decision. Two studies were conducted to examine if the implicit activation of gender role stereotypes influences perceptions of job candidates. In the first study, participants (N = 306) evaluated short resume excerpts that included words designed to activate gender role stereotypes without mentioning the sex of the applicant. Results showed that these simple statements were not effective at producing a consistent assumption of an applicant's sex, nor did these statements produce differences in how the applicants were rated on work-related skills. There were significant effects indicating that female participants and those participants holding more egalitarian gender role beliefs tended to rate applicants more favorably on work-related skills. A second study required participants (N = 282) to complete one of three different priming tasks designed to activate gender role stereotypes: stereotype-congruent, stereotype-incongruent, and a no-stereotype control. Results showed that individuals who completed the stereotype-incongruent prime rated the job applicants more favorably than those in the control priming condition. In addition, in accordance with Study 1, female participants tended to rate applicants more favorably than men. These studies do not show strong evidence indicating that the activation of gender role stereotypes plays a role in hiring decisions. However, given that both studies suggest that an evaluator's own sex and gender role stereotype traditionalism play an important role when making judgments about others in a hiring situation, future research needs to be focused on investigating factors that contribute to this effect.
