This paper problematises the ways women's leadership has been understood in relation to male leadership rather than on its own terms. Focusing specifically on ethical leadership, we challenge and politicise the symbolic status of women in leadership by considering the practice of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. In so doing, we demonstrate how leadership ethics based on feminised ideals such as care and empathy are problematic in their typecasting of women as being simply the other to men. We apply different strategies of mimesis for developing feminist leadership ethics that does not derive from the masculine. This offers a radical vision for leadership that liberates the feminine and women's subjectivities from the masculine order. It also offers a practical project for changing women's working lives through relationality, intercorporeality, collective agency and ethical openness with the desire for fundamental political transformation in the ways in which women can lead.
本文对女性领导力相对于男性领导力的理解方式提出了质疑，而非基于其自身条件。具体聚焦于道德领导力，我们通过审视新西兰总理杰辛达·阿德恩的实践，对女性在领导力中的象征地位提出挑战并将其政治化。在此过程中，我们展示了基于关怀和同理心等女性化理想的领导力伦理如何将女性简单地塑造成男性的对立面，从而存在问题。我们运用不同的模仿策略来发展并非源自男性特质的女性主义领导力伦理。这为领导力提供了一个激进的愿景，将女性气质和女性主体性从男性秩序中解放出来。它还提供了一个切实可行的项目，通过关联性、身体间性、集体能动性以及道德开放性来改变女性的工作生活，以期在女性领导方式上实现根本性的政治变革。
