Women community college presidents reflect on values.
How do women leaders reflect on their values in relation to how they lead their colleges? Is value reflection an important part of their jobs?
In 2003-2004, I conducted a study to explore these issues as part of my PhD dissertation in Educational Leadership and Organizations at the University of California at Santa Barbara. I asked three primary questions:
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
* How frequently do women community college presidents in California consider their values in their jobs?
* What types of leadership styles do they use?
* How do leadership behaviors such as decision-making, communication and evaluation reflect their values?
At the time of my study there were 108 community colleges in California. I sent a survey to each of the 48 that had female presidents and received back 27 completed surveys; I also interviewed seven of the women. This article shares the personal insights of these women leaders on value reflection and how they influenced their career choice to lead a community college.
