Abstract

This chapter explores the intersection of race-ethnicity and gender in leadership focusing on Black and Asian women leaders. It discusses how their experiences are affected by race, racism, and gender discrimination, and emphasizes the importance of understanding leadership experiences of underrepresented groups. The chapter also examines established leadership styles, leadership theories by discussing Hofstede’s traditional but influential cultural dimensions model and the GLOBE model, and the influence of race and gender in leadership, particularly in political and business contexts. It advances for a deeper understanding of leadership processes and experiences through an intersectional lens.
