Haciendose un Líder: Leadership Identity Development of Latino Men at a Predominantly White Institution

Abstract

There is limited literature on how race influences leadership identity development. Using a case study methodology, this research explores the influence of race on the leadership identity development of Latino men at a Predominately White Institution. This study revealed that the leadership identity development model was applicable to participants, with Yosso’s (2005) cultural wealth and cultural heritage identified as missing components in the developmental influences and developing self categories, respectively.
