Abstract

Women who move into leadership roles are often influenced strongly by someone outside the family-and-community 'envelope', hence, it is imperative that knowledge gained from the wide range of leadership roles women undertake within their own communities is made available for the benefit of all. However, while the internet can connect people globally, the information is neither comprehensively indexed nor is it interlinked. Consequently, no women's leadership 'body of knowledge' is available as a whole and locating information requires significant detective work. This paper investigates the potential use of 'ontological hypermedia' and Web 2.0 technologies to facilitate the growth and development of successful women's leadership, and proposes a way forward for the implementation of a women's global leadership virtual community. Findings are discussed throughout in relation to the specific needs of women who adopt leadership roles to effect change on a local, regional, or even a global scale.
