✦ Synopsis

In the preceding article, Judith Kolb presents a study of leader emergence in classroom project teams, using group members' sex along with several individual differences variables as predictors of emergence. The issue of whether and under what conditions women and men differ in their tendency to emerge as leaders has both theoretical and practical implications and is a critical issue for modern organizations in light of women5 continued underrepresentation in many leadership roles.

Kolb found that sex and the personality trait of femininity had no significant effect on leader emergence, but self-confidence, attitude toward leadership, prior leadership experience, and the personality trait of masculinity did. These interesting findings can be better understood in relation to a larger body of research and theory on sex differences in leadership that was only partially considered by Kolb.
