Breaking the Stained Glass Ceiling: Women's Collaborative Leadership Style as a Model for Theological Education
Lowe, Mary E.
Journal of Research on Christian Education, v20 n3 p309-329 2011
One of the prevailing notions within American culture is the idea that women are prevalent in leadership positions. The reality, however, is that while women are slightly more than 50% of the population, they are underrepresented in leadership. Fewer than 10% of chief executive officers in theological education are women. Traditional roles in theological education lean in favor of men; however, more women are entering religious-oriented professions. The challenge for theological education is the development of a model that reflects general trends, one that recommends an ability to lead from an others-centered paradigm.
