"The Ones Who Move Things Along": How Women Mid-Level Managers Navigate Academic Landscapes
García, Hugo A.; Nehls, Kimberly; Florence, Kimberly; Harwood, Yvonne; McClain, Tamara
New Directions for Higher Education, n189 p25-39 Spr 2020
This chapter uses feminist and empowerment theories as a framework to examine how women in mid-level professional leadership perceive their level of influence and define leadership. Results indicate that empowerment behaviors are central when these women engage in opportunities to influence institutional decision-making, in the ways they identify individuals with power and influence and use their positionality to "move things along."
