History
Brigid is a Senior Lecturer in Leadership and Organisation Studies in the Department of Management and International Business, and both a Leadership Design/ Development Facilitator and a Senior Research Fellow for Excelerator: The NZ Leadership Institute.

Prior to taking up an appointment in at the University in Auckland in 1999, Brigid had a career in secondary education and taught English at Avondale collage and was Head of English at Rangitoto College. Her entry into management, leadership and organisations came from doing a MBA at Fordham University in New York and discovering the intersection of literary and organisational theory in discourse/ narrative approaches to organisations.

Consequently she completed a PhD in identity, narrative and the management of professionals in 2002 and since then has taught organisation theory to undergraduates and leadership to executive and postgraduate classes. She is also part of an Institute team that delivers nationwide long-term leadership development and has worked with corporates, professional organisations, community groupings and youth.

Her research interests lie primarily in identity work, critical leadership studies and narrative/ discourse theory. She is interested in leadership as predominately a discourse and identity and is exploring how it is articulated and shaped in different organisational contexts. She draws on extensive leadership development data and is interested in the construction of a leadership identity and the trajectory of different development/ learning experiences. She has written recently on the management/ leadership relationship, the re-theorisation of role, different narrative/ discourse approaches, leadership as practice, and the evolution of leadership and heroism. Her research draws on an interpretive/ poststructuralist epistemology and discourse/ narrative methodology.
