The authors present and analyze qualitative data collected during interviews with 30 senior female administrators working at community colleges in the Midwest. Theoretical and inductively oriented analyses revealed three patterns of leadership identity for women as leaders: adaptation, reconciliation, and resistance. The authors discuss each category in respect to leadership identity, communication style, and gender issues, and summarize implications for community college leadership development efforts.
