Leadership in the British Army — A Gendered Construct?

Mike Dunn

Chapter 9 in Leadership Perspectives, 2008, pp 114-129 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines the question of whether female Army officers lead in different ways to male Army officers. In seeking to answer that question, the chapter examines the situation in which female Army officers operate and the level of congeniality they enjoy. This is because the leadership situation has been identified by writers such as Fiedler (1967) and Hersey et al. (2001) as a key variable in leadership outcomes. On congeniality, Eagly and Carli (1995) concluded that there is some evidence that leadership roles, defined in relatively masculine terms, favoured males, and that roles defined in female terms, favoured female leaders.
