A few years ago, the U.S. Marine Corps appointed Col. Adele Hodges as the first ever female Base Commander of legendary Camp Lejeunea base located in humid, swampy North Carolina that is notorious for its tough training environment.

If, as some experts believe, women have a somewhat different leadership style than men (such as seeking consensus, democratic-participative leadership, and nurturing leadership styles), how might Col. Hodges' innate, "feminine" leadership style be affected by 1) expectations from this male-dominated institution, and by 2) her own self-expectations?
