Abstract: Although much has been written on gender, power, and leadership, there is still a lack of consensus as to whether men and women lead and use power in the same ways. The purpose of this study was to explore whether self-reported leadership style and power are significantly different in men and women senior level administrators of the North Carolina Community College System. This was accomplished by sending the Leader Effectiveness Adaptability Description (LEAD) and the Power Perception Profile to 20 male and 20 female randomly selected senior level administrators across the North Carolina Community College System. Sixteen males and sixteen females completed the instruments and returned them for analysis. The dominant leadership style and differences were determined by descriptive statistics and a chi square. Power differences were determined by a manova.
