Men, masculinities, and leaderships : Emerging issues

• This chapter argues that combining recent work in critical studies on men and masculinities (CSMM) with critical leadership studies (CLS) has the potential to open up important new research agendas in the broad area of gender and leadership and more particularly in relation to men, masculinities, and leadership. Its starting point is Collinson and Hearn’s 1994 Gender, Work & Organization article, “Naming men as men: Implications for work, organizations and management. ”Collinson and Hearn sought to make the gendered social category of men explicit in studying work, organizations, and management. This involved interrogating debates on patriarchies and multiple masculinities, as well as analytical questions around exclusion, differences, meaning, and power. The relevance of these issues was discussed in relation to (material) discourses of masculinity in management: paternalism, authoritarianism, entrepreneurialism, informalism, careerism.
