To explore new mothers' perceptions of reflective leadership in relation to motherhood.
Mindfulness, discovery of a deep personal self, sense of life purpose and authenticity appear to be the essence of self-reflective leadership. In this regard, women may be unprepared for the level of distress associated with the transition to motherhood.
This study comprised interviews with ten new mothers on day 2-3 after giving birth conducted between March and May 2005. The interviews were audio-taped, transcribed verbatim and interpreted by a method grounded in hermeneutics.
The content of the text was interpreted as one overall theme; the nature of responsibility in motherhood, encompassing the following four sub-themes: 'Being a good mother by reflecting and developing self-identity', 'managing fear, demands and commitments as a mother', 'having the necessary resources to act and lead as a mother' and 'believing and trusting in others and self as a leader'.
In the new mother's transformation and growth of self, true strength has to overcome the vulnerability of life by means of caring and courage mediated by reflective leadership anchored in love.
探讨新妈妈对与母性相关的反思型领导力的看法。
正念、对深层自我的发现、人生目标感和真实性似乎是自我反思型领导力的本质。在这方面，女性可能对与成为母亲相关的困扰程度没有准备。
本研究包括 2005 年 3 月至 5 月期间对 10 位分娩后第 2-3 天的新妈妈进行的访谈。访谈进行了录音，逐字转录，并通过扎根于解释学的方法进行解释。
文本的内容被解释为一个整体主题；母性责任的本质，包括以下四个副标题：“通过反思和发展自我认同成为一个好母亲”、“作为母亲管理恐惧、需求和承诺”、“作为母亲拥有必要的资源来行动和领导”和“作为领导者相信并信任他人和自我”。
在新妈妈的自我转变和成长中，真正的力量必须通过关怀和勇气来克服生命的脆弱性，这种关怀和勇气由以爱为基础的反思型领导力来介导。
