本文重新概念化了关于性别和领导力的经典理论（Kanter 1993[1977]），以便为社会语言学和管理思维提供新的见解。坎特声称，基于人们熟悉的掌权女性的历史原型，在男性主导的组织中，女性领导者有四种被认可的“角色陷阱”：母亲、宠物、诱惑者和铁娘子。本文从社会语言学角度重新解释了坎特对角色陷阱的构建，将其视为高级女性主动利用的性别化话语资源，与她们以男性为主的同事互动。基于研究委员会资助的一项研究，对 14 名高级领导者（七名女性和七名男性）进行了研究，每名高级领导者在英国至少召开一次高级管理层会议，该论文发现，尽管存在性别差异，但个别演讲者可以将刻板的主题立场转化为强大的话语资源，以实现领导力目标。
This paper reconceptualises a classic theory (Kanter 1993[1977]) on gender and leadership in order to provide fresh insights for both sociolinguistic and management thinking. Kanter claimed that there are four approved ‘role traps’ for women leaders in male‐dominated organisations: Mother, Pet, Seductress and Iron Maiden, based on familiar historical archetypes of women in power. This paper reinterprets Kanter's construct of role traps in sociolinguistic terms as gendered, discursive resources that senior women utilise proactively to interact with their predominantly male colleagues. Based on a Research Council funded1study of 14 senior leaders (seven female and seven male) each conducting at least one senior management meeting in the U.K., the paper finds that individual speakers can transform stereotyped subject positions into powerful discursive resources to accomplish the goals of leadership, albeit marked by gender.
