Leadership issues through many lenses

Reference no: EM13746029

There is research available about leadership that is inclusive of populations that in the past were not investigated and still remain underrepresented. Research has found that most, if not all, of the major leadership theories and models were based on research conducted studying white males. Research also has found that female and minority leaders have a different experience than their white male counterparts. The hurdles and barriers they face, their career paths, the way that they are viewed by their subordinates, colleagues and superiors, their leadership style and the preparation needed to best accelerate their professional opportunities are unique to their gender and racial status.
Irby, Johnson, Duffy and Trautman (2002) developed a new leadership theory based on research they conducted that included female leaders in the sample. Rosette, Leonardelli & Phillips (2008) conducted four studies investigating race and its role in the perception of effective leadership behavior. As an aspiring leader, it is critical that you understand leadership issues through many lenses.

Read both articles and review, compare and contrast what the authors are presenting. Describe those areas that you learn to be specific to the minority experience in leadership (we use the term minority to include both females and racial minorities). Additionally, reflect on your own professional experience. How do you feel about the points that are discussed within these articles? Do you agree or disagree with the findings based on your own experience and anecdotal information? Have you seen similar occurrences during your career? Have you experienced such bias in your own professional careers? How does what you have read change the way you view minority leaders?
