Abstract
The practice of leadership is most often understood within the
context of relationships inside organizations and institutions. The
boundaries that dictated our lives months before have all but
dissolved, prompting the need to reconsider our definition of
leadership, where it takes place, and who controls it.
Circumstances and opportunities have required women to
readjust their expectations and what is expected of them. While
the past 18-months took a physical, emotional, social, and political
toll on many families, it has also provided a moment for reflection,
resignation, recovery, and reimagination of what our lives could
be beyond this moment. It has forced a shift in our notion of
leadership and allowed us to reconsider our roles and worth at
home and work.
Opportunities have emerged from an uncertain environment for
leaders to reflect on how we capitalize on the leadershifts that
have transpired over the last year to pivot forward.
