Women as educational leaders: Where we've been and how we lead
by Slaton, Joanna Duke, Ed.D., STEPHEN F. AUSTIN STATE UNIVERSITY, 2008, 167 pages; 3350770

Abstract:

This qualitative, narrative non-fiction study was designed to investigate the leadership characteristics of female educational leaders and how their experiences, perceptions and beliefs have molded the leaders that they have become today. Participants in this study were female superintendents across the state of Texas in public education. Using the responses from semi-structured individual interviews, this study not only supported some of the most significant leadership styles of female administrators found in the review of literature, but also collected and coded their responses to interview questions based on their personal and professional experiences in education. Results of the study also identified the most prominent relationships between the women's leadership styles, past experiences, and the manner in which they lead today. For female school superintendents, the findings of this study may be invaluable as a means to market women as invaluable leaders of the Twenty-first century.
