Interpretive Approach

The aim of the study is to explore the leadership practices and challenges at a university of technology in South Africa. This study adopts a qualitative, interpretive approach. I preferred to use in-depth individual interviews with five participants who were purposively selected from one university of technology (UoT) in South Africa. The interview data was analyzed using thematic analysis (TA) through an inductive process. Four themes emerged from the data analysis. The study recommends that university need to respond effectively to the leadership challenges and as well management in higher education institutions need to acquire skills and leadership practices in line with the 21st century. This study contributes to the literature on higher education leadership in South African UoTs which was noted to be scant.

Counseling Psychologists

In this article, we address the challenge and promise for counseling psychologists (CPs) in leadership in U.S. higher education. We summarize leadership challenges in contemporary higher education, including contextual difficulties and those emanating from within the academy. We contend that CPs offer promise in higher education leadership, as they are well suited to provide leadership in the difficult context of the academy due to their training, values, disciplinary foci, and professional experiences. We attend to diversity as one of counseling psychology’s core strengths, presenting the example of feminist multicultural mentoring as a leadership task that obviates the challenge and enhances the promise for counseling psychology leaders in academic settings. We offer suggestions for CPs considering or moving into higher education leadership, and conclude with a brief examination of future trends in counseling psychology that support our contention that CPs are much needed and can succeed as leaders in the academy.

Resilient Leadership

This article explores adversity and the lived experiences of Black women in higher education leadership. Using phenomenology, this study specifically explores how Black women in higher education leadership navigate the adverse challenges of intersectionality, stereotype threat, and tokenism. Black women in leadership undergo adversity including limited role models, the concrete ceiling, and the intersectionality of racism, sexism, and ageism, as well as tokenism. The current findings validate that Black women in higher education leadership experience adversity. Some of the more salient codes that emerged were discrimination such as racism, sexism, ageism, and the intersection of these challenges with identity, cultural diversity and belonging, resilience, and leadership callings. Referred to as “superwomen,” Black women are resilient and strong. The results of this study reveal that Black women use adversity as fuel, thus helping them develop the necessary skills to prepare them for leadership. Their strength through adversity is driven by the resilience that has manifested as motivation factors such as family and relationships, mentorship and sponsorship, as well as the support of cultural identity and diversity. The current findings support the notion that adversity shapes Black women into leaders with an emphasis on higher education leadership.
