Abstract:
Phenomenological patterns identified from lived experiences described in the biographies of Nightingale,
Curie, and Roosevelt were found consistent with the Centered Leadership model (Barsh, Cranston, &
Lewis, 2011) confirming the model as a valuable guide for leadership development of women. This
biographical case study of three outstanding women from the last century analyzed information from
their own words quoted in collected works, books, and articles they authored or written about them. We
documented evidence of the fabulous five dimensions of meaning, framing, connecting, engaging, and
energizing from Centered Leadership for all three exemplars supporting the model.
