The development of leaders is a high priority on the national agenda for countries around the worldespecially in fast-developing regions such as the Middle East. Qatar seeks to support and developQatari men and women in the labor force while attracting qualified expatriate workers, many of theseindividuals serving as leaders in various aspects of society. In particular, the increase in women asleaders in such vital fields as education raises important issues that women face in order to be effectiveleaders. The central focus of this research project is to explore the perspectives of Middle EasternWomen living in Qatar regarding the barriers they might face and then use Transformative LearningTheory (TLT) to produce strategies that can be integrated into educational leadership programs in orderto enable women to develop complex understandings of the circumstances and structures that presentbarriers to leadership. The sample for this study was drawn from Middle Eastern Women living in Qatarwho are in leadership positions. Forty-one participants completed a ten-question, open-ended surveyposted on Survey Monkey (it was made available in both English and Arabic) regarding theirperspectives on the barriers facing them as women in leadership positions. Upon completion of thedata analysis, 10 semi-structured interviews were conducted based on the emergent survey themes.Findings from survey responses and interviews support previous research findings regarding barriersfaced by women in the Middle East. Transformative Learning Theory is used to offer ways to preparewomen for leadership, because it fosters certain emancipatory knowledge essential to personal andnational development
