Abstract
Although Black women are the most educated group in America, they continue to face baffling complexities on the pathway to leadership and career promotions. This research elicits Black women’s lived experiences to explore how their pathway to leadership and career promotion differs from those of other women of color. Study One focused on expert notions of women's leadership to examine facilitators and barriers that impact pathways to career promotion. It found that mainstream approaches to leadership overemphasized individual actions, excluding the nuances specific to Black women. Study Two explored the experiences of Black executive women more deeply. It found that Black women’s double minority reality led to a greater need for community in the workplace compared to other women of color, who identified mentorship as the more critical factor in answering the research question.
Together, Study One and Study Two suggest that organizational culture, community, and individual resilience are critical to Black women’s success as executives.
