Abstrakt: Narrative inquiry functions to bring about democracy and inclusive environments through the writing and sharing of experience. The purpose of the study was to examine the leadership praxis of Marilyn Howard, state superintendent of public instruction Idaho, 1999–2007, retrospectively and in collaboration with the leader. Utilizing narrative inquiry and the lenses of authentic leadership and gender in leadership, the study revealed understandings of inclusiveness, resiliency and connectedness. Principles were the force for politics in public leadership affecting policy change. Recommendations include incorporating narrative inquiry in leadership preparation to enhance leadership theory and for cultivating self-knowledge essential to leadership development.
