Abstract:
The study focuses on women in leadership roles. It explores what are the lived experiences of female Grand Student Council (GRANSCIL) officers in serving the college community. Women's leadership is a debated subject throughout history; several researches have primarily relied on inequalities and biases of gender in leadership roles and highlighted that women are underrepresented. This study examines the way in which women lead and the way they deal with challenges they have experienced in serving. The study utilized a qualitative research method, particularly transcendental phenomenology, to analyze the data acquired from the participants. The participants were the former female GRANSCIL officers who have served the college community for two years. Moreover, the result of this study revealed seven major themes such as; perception of women's leadership, women's leadership styles, roles and responsibilities in serving the college community, way of performing roles and responsibilities, challenges those women faced in serving the college community, women's way of facing the challenges, and realizations of female leaders in serving the college community. Lastly, the study indicates that women in leadership are also capable of performing different tasks. Female leaders did not consider their gender as hindrance in performing their roles and responsibilities; besides, as leaders, they tend to look upon what is best for the community. Hampered by several difficulties, yet they still come up with different strategies to cope.
