The Influence of Hegemonic (Toxic) Masculinity on Leadership Behaviors of Black Men
Abstract
Black male leaders represent a small percentage of Fortune 500 companies. Images of Black men have mostly portrayed aggression, hypermasculinity, and patriarchal thoughts about gender dominance. Hegemonic (toxic) masculinity is a symptom of cultural impressions that teach men what masculine ideologies to embrace and how to become a “real man.” Nuances across race are evident as Black males learn messages of masculinity through the history of Black people and community influences that abhor vulnerability. With so few Black leaders across organizations, they could become susceptible to enacting hegemonic behaviors in their leadership and mentorship roles. Further research could buttress leadership studies, Black studies, and men's psychology by examining the lived experiences of Black male leaders acting as mentors within professional associations. These investigations might illustrate the profound contributions of early conceptualizations of masculinity to leadership behavior and the proliferation of masculine thoughts taught in mentorship programs to young Black people.
