Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
With contributions from global leading scholars, this Research Agenda offers an interdisciplinary collection of ideas investigating gender and leadership; where we are today and where we are going.
Using critical perspectives, chapters challenge the way we think about gender and leadership by questioning the status quo. Providing cutting edge discussion from authors of diverse genders, races, ages, ethnicities, and religions, this book provides analysis of the key issues and methodologies in modern leadership research. Forward thinking, it examines current guidelines and provides insight towards an equitable and positive change in leadership.
Leadership scholars and graduate students interested in business leadership as well as gender and management more broadly will find this not only an informative but an illuminating read.

Critical Acclaim
‘Critical, timely, thoughtful! This entire project gracefully centers the nuances of gender, what it is and isn't, while artfully exploring leadership at its intersections. Each chapter intentionally disrupts the “story most often told” in leadership--research, development, and practice--and places concerted attention on identities, lived experiences, and perspectives about leadership that have historically not been prioritized. Sherylle J. Tan and Lisa DeFrank-Cole, alongside each chapter author, challenges readers to think beyond the current leadership milieu to imagine, better yet, demand what could be! I am excited for the impact this work will have on the understanding and practice of leadership!’

‘Once again Sherylle J. Tan and Lisa DeFrank-Cole have made an important contribution to the continuing conversation of gender and leadership. This edited collection pays particular attention to the context within which these discussions are being held, especially the changing conceptions of gender and the changing language around gender. Both require we reconsider how we think about leadership, and followership, in the third decade of the 21st Century.’
