Leadership is an ambiguous concept. Some are natural leaders, while others learn by hard work.

A research project conducted by Dr. Kathleen Murphey, associate dean and Dr. Glenda Moss, assistant professor, both in the school of education at Indiana University Purdue University in Fort Wayne IN, addressed the issue of leadership. They presented a draft of their research, a self-reflective view by four female leaders, at the University of Nebraska Women in Educational Leadership conference held in Lincoln NE in October.

Joining Murphey and Moss as participants in the ongoing project were Dr. Susan Hannah, vice chancellor of academic affairs and Dr. Roberta Wiener, professor emerita. The objective was to analyze leadership development as an ongoing process of social action with the goal of democratizing education.

To guide the discussions, Murphey and Moss asked:

* How do we understand leadership?

* How does position influence perception of leadership?

* What are the complexities of being women in leadership roles?
