Allie was a staunch fighter for the betterment of women, and thereby for everyone. We are very happy to have this opportunity to contribute in this small way to this tribute to Allie. Her courage and energetic action are all too rare. They have served as an inspiration to many, and we hope will continue to do so for many more. Two of us (Jordan and Miller) worked with her on several projects in the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and the American Psychiatric Association. We did not always agree on everything, but we enjoyed vigorous discussions and learned from each other over the years. We have a feeling that Allie would enjoy hearing about the work that follows.

Research paper thumbnail of The paradox of postheroic leadership: An essay on gender, power, and transformational change

The Leadership Quarterly, 2004

It argues that although these models emphasize leadership as a social process dependent on social networks of influence, the concepts are often presented as gender and, to a lesser degree, power neutral, not only in theory, but in practice. The essay explores this phenomenon, arguing that the concepts are not gender, power, or sex neutral but instead are rooted in a set of social interactions in which bdoing gender,Q bdoing power,Q and bdoing leadershipQ are linked. It explores these dynamics and suggests that theories of leadership that fail to consider the gender/power implications of social interactions and networks of influence may lead to the cooptation of these models, resulting in their being brought into the mainstream discourse in a way that silences their radical challenge to current work practices, structures, and norms.
