This research explores the "stronger leader" fallacy, arguing that frequent leadership turnover often stems from systemic organizational dysfunction rather than individual failure. The research highlights how unsustainable role demands and under-resourcing disproportionately impact Black women leaders, who often face unique pressures like the Superwoman Schema and racialized expectations. Instead of treating vacancies as simple hiring tasks, the research suggests using them as diagnostic opportunities to fix broken internal structures. Proposed solutions include implementing distributed leadership models, providing transparent job previews, and fostering cultural accountability to protect leader wellbeing. Ultimately, the research advocates for building healthy systems that allow ordinarily capable professionals to succeed long-term.
