Abstract Details

2019, Ph.D., Antioch University, Leadership and Change.
The country of Mongolia has an ancient culture with a 28-year-old democracy that emerged out of communism. Over the course of several centuries, the Mongolian people have adapted to severe climates and brutal occupations but have managed to preserve cultural practices and the Mongolian way of life. Women leaders have made significant historical and contemporary contributions in Mongolia, from holding important leadership positions as heirs of Chinggis Khan, to ensuring the future of the country by sending their children abroad for graduate education. The impact of their leadership is evident with high percentages of women in leadership positions across several sectors of business, politics, social services and health care. This form of modern nomadism is providing Mongolia with a global perspective that is contributing to the development of their democratic infrastructure. Through individual and group interviews, this indigenous narrative study with an emergent, thematic analysis, found that Mongolian women persevered through challenging conditions, motivated by their dedication to Mongolian people, the future of their country and centuries of indigenous ways of being that promote adaptability in extreme circumstances.
