The authors discussed how various leadership theories have affected women in leadership. This article was interesting to me because I would like to continue excelling in my career which would eventually place me in a leadership position.

According to the article, women are seen as more effective leaders because they are not aggressive and competitive among their subordinates.

McNae, R. (2010). Young women and the Co-construction of Leadership. Journal of Educational Administration, 48(6), 677-688. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/09578231011079548 I found this article interesting because the author conducts a study using 12 young women from a Catholic all girl’s high school and had them participate with the author in the development of a leadership program. Throughout the year that she spent with these young women, she found that there were a lot of issues that made the research chaotic but challenging. The results proved that by allowing the young women to be active in the development of the program, it allowed for a quality program to allow young women to develop and grow no matter the age into a leadership position. There are multiple footnotes in this article and over thirty references in the bibliography, which proves this is a scholarly article.
