Bobette Brown | 2022

Abstract

This project highlights the importance of passing the baton to next-generation female leaders. This paper argues the necessity for successful and seasoned female leaders to create momentum for the next-generation female leader. Women have a unique leadership DNA. Amid the ongoing debate of gender equity in high-level leadership roles, women are boldly and unapologetically embracing their uniqueness as leaders in today’s modern world. Before the beginning of time, the Lord called women to lead. He embedded unique traits within their DNA, and those intricacies are indelibly pressed into the fibers of their leadership wand, revealing a priceless genetic legacy.

Passing the Baton: Equipping Emerging Christian Female Leaders for the 21st Century is a practical guide and source of inspiration written in a thought-provoking and conversational manner incorporating biblical guidance for leadership development. It provides leaders with evidence-based research to understand leadership theory and performance, organizational philosophy, and strategies to educate themselves and next-generation female leaders. Additionally, it explains and highlights the dynamics of leadership development and succession planning approaches to ensure a timely leadership baton pass adequately prepares emerging female leaders for their journey.

Keywords: women, female leadership, next-generation female leaders, transformational leadership, succession planning, leadership development
