Leadership Recreated: A Woman’s Guide to Surviving and Thriving in Patriarchal Academia

Listen to women in any field and you’ll hear a call for more contemporary and inclusive leadership styles. In higher education, women have been earning most of the master’s and doctoral degrees for decades yet represent just 24 percent of the highest-paid faculty members and administrators at leading universities. It is clear that the ethos of leadership within academia is not overly friendly to women. Sadly, many talented, dedicated, and hardworking women are passed over for promotions or over-extended due to quality colleagues leaving the notoriously patriarchal settings of higher education. Realizing that the current state of affairs is not sustainable, Kem Gambrell, Ph.D., a leadership scholar and coach, presents a new way of imagining and engaging with workplace culture. In Leadership Recreated , Gambrell explains the premise that how society views leadership is limiting to women (and many men) and discusses the need to move toward a more collectivist orientation. This book will inspire readers to: Re-consider their role and activities in the workplace; Challenge the common notion of “”leading”” and “”leadership”” in modern-day academia; Develop ways to create community, and to “”cherry-pick”” relationships within the organization; Understand and create environments and spaces of intention and cooperation; Shift toward more genuine and supportive workplace relationships; Take action in their institution to re-create how they promote and celebrate their own work, as well as that of their female colleagues.
