ObjectiveInspired by panel discussions at various neuropsychology conferences, the aim of this paper is to share wisdom that women in neuropsychology acquired from their leadership experiences.MethodWe identified 46 women leaders in governance and academic research through reviews of organizational websites and journal editorial boards, and requested their response to brief questions via email. Twenty-one leaders provided responses to three questions formulated by the authors.ResultsThis paper summarizes the primary themes for the following questions:(1) What advice would you give to a woman neuropsychologist who is seeking to move into a leadership role?Responses included: increase visibility, make connections, know yourself, be confident, and gather information.(2) What leadership style(s) works best?No respondents endorsed a ‘best’ leadership style; however, they suggested that leaders should know their own personal style, be open and transparent, find a shared mission, and most importantly – use a collaborative approach.(3) What helps a woman earn respect as a leader in neuropsychology?Respondents recommended that leaders should: get involved in the work, demonstrate integrity, do your homework, be dependable, and keep meetings focused.ConclusionsIt is the authors’ intent that by gathering and distilling advice from successful women leaders in neuropsychology, more women may be catalyzed to pursue leadership roles in our profession.
