How do effective leaders from marginalized populations influence and change the organizational structure in which they lead?

What techniques do they utilize and how did their background influence their leadership attainment and success?

• Traits and aspects of the leader/leadership role (focus on the aspects discussed in the textbook chapters such as formal vs. informal, hierarchical vs. egalitarian, intergroup leadership, heterogeneous vs. homogeneous composition of the organization)
• Problems the leader still faces and how this impacts leadership opportunities for this marginalized population
