‘Critical, timely, thoughtful! This entire project gracefully centers the nuances of gender, what it is and isn't, while artfully exploring leadership at its intersections. Each chapter intentionally disrupts the “story most often told” in leadership--research, development, and practice--and places concerted attention on identities, lived experiences, and perspectives about leadership that have historically not been prioritized. Sherylle J. Tan and Lisa DeFrank-Cole, alongside each chapter author, challenges readers to think beyond the current leadership milieu to imagine, better yet, demand what could be! I am excited for the impact this work will have on the understanding and practice of leadership!’
