This article explores how leadership functions as a form of identity among other multiple and often intersecting social identities. This article reviews emerging scholarship addressing racial identity, gender identity, and LGBTQ+ identities in diverse postsecondary institutional contexts. Finally, the article concludes with examples and implications for centering social identities for leadership educators who study, practice, teach, and develop leadership in higher education.

Social identities and leadership identity development

“…The continuous process of leadership identity development and enactment is guided by individual, internal self‐awareness (Bitton & Jones, 2021; Guthrie et al., 2013). However, social identities and social location influence leadership identity development given “lived experience, social identities, ideologies, context, and power” (Turman et al., 2018, p. 65). Social identities and systems of power are interdependent and mutually construct one another; this produces complex, interdependent social inequalities of various marginalized identities (Collins, 2019).…”

This article reviews foundational scholarship related to leadership identity development (LID). The LID grounded theory and resultant model are explained, and subsequent replication and translation studies are overviewed and thematized. The authors also interrogate how issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion shape the development and enactment of leadership identity development, including structured inequalities and barriers to opportunity. We conclude with examples of how institutions of higher education have utilized the LID framework for programs, policies, and institutional transformation.

“…The model of multiple dimensions of identity (MMDI; Abes et al., 2007; Jones & McEwen, 2000) also informs the individuals’ development of leadership identity. Social identities, social location, and systems of power influence the development of leadership identity (Turman et al., 2018); individuals’ leadership impacts their perceptions of identities, and, in turn, their perceptions of identity influence the development of their leadership (Abes et al., 2007).…”

This article examines various applications of the leadership identity development (LID) grounded theory and model and explores the process used to apply LID to the construction of collegiate student leadership development experiences. Featured programs include those that use LID as a design element of the program, but do not explicitly teach it; those that explicitly teach the content of the LID theory and model in leadership programs and curricula; and those that use LID at the institutional level to inform university‐wide leadership programming. The article concludes with critiques and considerations for leadership educators interested in applying LID in their leadership education and development programs.
