Abstract: This study used a qualitative case study research design to explore male millennial leaders’ perceptions of female leaders in large, Mauritanian organizations. The researcher used transformational leadership theory and social dominance theory as the theoretical bases to guide the study. The study raised awareness about aspects of Mauritanian female leaders through the eyes of the male, millennial leaders in a historically male-dominated society. Furthermore, the study provided data to enhance the understanding of local, regional, and global leaders who work to liberate female leaders through organizational development and gender equality. This study explored perceptions of male leaders to find out what could be done to change perceptions that may limit the possibilities for women to gain access to leadership roles in Mauritanian organizations.
