Overview

This book shares the LEAD (Leadership Enrichment and Development) method, a framework for supporting and facilitating leadership identity development for women in higher education. Guided by feminist group processes and relational learning, the chapters in this volume illustrate the impacts of self- and peer mentorship on the authors. Part lived experience, part reflection on scholarship on women’s leadership development, this book has implications for those in leadership development settings across professional sectors and career trajectories, offering strategies, implications, and insights for those developing or seeking to learn about peer mentoring programming for women faculty. Women faculty, leadership development coaches, faculty development leaders, directors of centers for teaching excellence, program leaders focused on girls’ and women’s leader development, and students and scholars interested in women’s leadership development in higher education will find this volume of interest. While LEAD’s context is higher education, the volume offers valuable application to other professional settings where women work, lead, and thrive.
