Understanding the Double Bind: Challenges and Opportunities in Leadership Today

Joyce K. Fletcher explores the concept of the Double Bind in leadership, examining its history and implications for gender dynamics in organizations. She discusses the evolution of leadership theories, including the impact of gendered expectations and the need for a new approach that transcends traditional performativity. By analyzing the effectiveness of leadership strategies, Fletcher encourages leaders to engage with perceptions actively while also challenging the norms that hinder progress. This work invites reflections on how we can navigate these complexities in contemporary leadership roles.
