As we pointed out in Chapter 1, gender relations in the workplace have been a major topic of inquiry over the past decade. The leadership discourse, however, is still primarily a masculine attempt to illuminate organizational life. For radical feminists, science is not sexless: “The attributes of science are the attributes of males,” states Sydie (1987, P. 207)” Why leadership research and scholarship tend to be both androcentric and ethnocentric has been discussed by Townley (1997) and Collins (2002). Townley suggests that the leadership agenda, hitherto, has consisted largely of “important” white men in one field (academia) talking to, reflecting, and writing on “important” white men in another field (organizations).
