This volume takes up intersectionality and whiteness as perspectives through which to engage and understand leadership. The chapters draw from research and theory, as well as the authors' own personal backgrounds and experiences to illustrate the complexity of leadership as a concept and the nuances of the development of leaders' own individual leadership identities and perspectives. Presenting theoretically and empirically informed conversations that engage both scholarship and real-life issues in the sphere of leadership, authors address important issues for advancing research and practice in international contexts, including Australia, Botswana, Canada, South Africa, Pakistan, Netherlands, UK, and USA. Chapters evaluate the dominant models, conceptions, and perspectives of leadership as part of advocating alternative models of leadership which acknowledge the multiplicity of permutations of diversity of genders and ethnicities across the world. By so doing, authors consider how their work might lead to social change. It will be of interest to researchers, educators, and students in Gender Studies, Business, and Management, as well as community and corporate leaders.
