Abstract
In addressing leadership, there are often two interlocking strands. One of these strands centers on the contributions of leadership grounded in men's leadership experiences (Regan & Brooks, 1995). The second interlocking strand includes attributes. This contributes to nuances of meaning that arise from women's experiences of leadership. Regan and Brooks noted five attributes of leadership among women: collaboration, caring, courage, intuition, and vision. Often these attributes are embedded in firmly held beliefs which are at the heart of a notion of relational leadership. Over twenty years ago, Jaggar (1983) further emphasized that feminist theory is at its best when it reflects the lived experiences of women, when it bridges the gap between mind and body, reason, and emotion, thinking and feeling (p. x).
