Effective Leadership in New Zealand Workplaces: Balancing Gender and Role
Year: 2006
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: ‘Workplace leadership’ is a gendered concept. As a public rather than a private domain, the workplace is typically male-dominated (e.g. Kendall and Tannen, 1997; McConnell-Ginet, 2000), and in most societies, men occupy the most powerful positions in companies and organisations (e.g. Hearn and Parkin, 1988; Sinclair, 1998). Until very recently, the prevailing stereotype of a leader, chief executive officer, and even senior manager has been decidedly male (e.g. Marshall, 1995), and the female voice in these public contexts has often been silenced.
