Abstract
This paper reports upon the perceptions of 23 senior women in Education Queensland on the impact of School-Based Management (SBM) on their ways of leading and on their career opportunities. The women interviewed were all graduates of a Women in Management course run by the Queensland University of Technology. Those women working in primary schools and in secondary schools trialling SBM felt that SBM would legitimize the way they led their schools and provide them with further opportunities to challenge the accepted discourse of educational administration. The women working in secondary schools were sceptical about its introduction. However, almost all the women felt that it would not enhance their future career prospects as the culture and make-up of the central bureaucracy remains masculinized.
