I'm conducting my Ph.D dissertation research on how ultra endurance athletes develop self-leadership habits that they apply to executive leadership pursuits. Ultra endurance is defined as foot races longer than a marathon, IM triathlon of any brand, multi day stage races, adventure races, swims longer than a 10km, etc, for the purposes of this research. I'm using a mixed methods approach, utilizing a quantitative measure to assess self-leadership followed by a qualitative interview. The questions are focused the lived experiences of the athlete and how these experiences have shaped their habits. No questions pertain to training, racing, professional, or trade secrets.
I'm posting this in the women's forum because I am looking for women who are both ultra endurance athletes and executive leaders. Right now my population is all male. I don't want diversity for the sake of diversity. Women and men lead differently based on personality and brain physiology. I'd like to explore these differences in my research and balance the results. Likewise, I'm really curious about how training and racing shapes habits for men and women. Do similar experiences yield similar results?
If you are interested or have any questions, please send me a PM. I can provide academic and professional references as needed.
Thank you in advanced.
