Studies have shown that women in academia face a range of challenges when it comes to promotion, including gender bias, lack of access to informal networks, and difficulty balancing work and family responsibilities. Women are often perceived as less competent or committed than their male colleagues, and may be overlooked for promotion or leadership positions despite their qualifications and accomplishments.

One study conducted by Huang and Notten (2018) found that women in Chinese academia face multiple barriers in their career advancement, including institutional gender bias, lack of mentorship and networking opportunities, and limited access to resources and support. Another study by Li and Greenhaus (2017) revealed that women academics in China face more work-family conflict than their male counterparts, which can hinder their career advancement.

In terms of promotion practices, a study by Wang and Du (2015) found that promotion decisions in Chinese universities tend to be influenced by factors such as research productivity and academic qualifications, which may disadvantage women who face greater challenges in balancing their academic work with family responsibilities.

Additionally, women may face barriers to advancement due to the limited number of available positions and the tendency for leadership roles to be dominated by men. This can create a "glass ceiling" effect, where women are unable to break through to higher levels of leadership despite their qualifications and potential.

Overall, these studies suggest that women in Chinese academia face various challenges in advancing to leadership positions, including gender bias, work-family conflict, and institutional barriers. It is important for universities and institutions to implement policies and practices that promote gender equality and support women's career advancement. Universities and institutions can take steps to promote gender diversity and inclusion, such as implementing policies to support work-life balance, providing leadership training and development opportunities for women, and actively seeking out and promoting qualified women for leadership positions. It is important to create a culture that values and supports women in leadership roles, and to recognize and address any implicit biases that may be hindering their advancement.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the concept of leadership in education. I completely agree that leadership involves guiding, directing, and influencing others towards a common goal, and this is especially true in the context of education.

In academic leadership development, it's important to cultivate the skills and qualities necessary to effectively guide and influence learners. This includes not only knowledge of subject matter and teaching methods, but also the ability to inspire and motivate students, create a positive and inclusive learning environment, and adapt to changing educational needs.

At the same time, academic leaders must also be able to lead and inspire their fellow educators, working collaboratively to improve teaching and learning outcomes. This requires strong communication and interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to identify and leverage individual strengths and expertise.

Hello Professor,
My question is that, what will be the future of internationalization in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic and increasing involvement of digital tools?

My another question is that, if there is any opportunity for the participants of Lead2 project to do PhD under this project if they want?

Thank you

IN my view, the leadership results at the ways that a leader processes, whether it is to speak or to write, in order to achieve his goal.

Topic 1 defining leadership. I subscribe to the definition of leadership as a social influence process with the view to achieving common goals (Northouse, 2015). Leadership can refer both to the mindsets and actions of individual leaders, and also to the way in which leadership operates as a process within an organisation.

Topic 2 for discussion: Gender and academic leadership

The gender gap in leadership continues to be a perplexing conundrum despite increased female representation in the workforce. Several studies report that women make up less than 20 percent of the top ranks of academia, are less likely to be promoted, and earn less than their male counterparts of the same rank. In addition to a significant proportion of leadership potential and contributions being unrealized, the lack of gender diversity also represents a loss in productivity, quality, and performance for organizations.

In your opinion

Within your university or institution, how women are getting promoted? Are there difficulties for women to get promoted? Which difficulties are there?

Hello everyone, thank you for your comments and contributions to the discussion. What do you think of the two definitions given so far (by one Anonymus and @SHIRLEY LABITA)? It seems that influencing others is a common characteristic. What other aspects could we consider for this definition?

Note: Feel free to say what other topics you would like to be discussed in this chat.

Leadership is someone who lead first to his followers, he set as model and an act of influencing others. But in education concept it is guiding, directing and influencing the learners.

Leadership is when an executive can guide, direct and influence the behavior and work of others towards the accomplishment of specific goal in a given situation.

Topic 1 for discussion: Defining leadership
Leadership is a word that is used in various contexts; therefore, defining it is not an easy task. However, the traditional approach tends to associate this word with a heroic model, a person with special characteristics, and a managerial position that convinces others to follow it.
Beyond this traditional vision, how would you define leadership in the context in which you would like to exercise the leadership role?

Hello Mabuhay!I am Reynante Roxas Malano.  I assumed office as a grade school principal in a public school here in the Philippines a couple of years ago. I would be delighted to learn from the experiences of academic leaders and also share some of the things I would consider my school's best practices.
