	abstract = {<p>Despite over 60 years of research on leadership, few attempts have been made to ensure that the models of leadership are inclusive of women or other {\textquoteleft}outsiders{\textquoteright}. This paper explores variation in the constructions of leadership at a time of institutional change in higher education. Drawing on a purposive sample, including those at presidential/rector, vice presidential/vice rector level in Irish and Portuguese universities, it compares and contrasts such senior managers{\textquoteright} conceptions of leadership, as reflected in their descriptions of a typical president/rector and those characteristics that they see as valued in senior management in their own university. Attention is particularly focussed on the identification and gendering of collegial/managerial characteristics, and the extent to which it reflects variation in these university contexts.</p>
