Minoritized women remain underrepresented in leadership positions, especially within higher education (HE). A key barrier to advancement for women of color is their susceptibility to impostor phenomenon (IP). A developmental network where the minoritized woman receives developmental support from multiple individuals is a potentially powerful intervention that can help them advance their careers, but there is a general lack of research on IP in the context of minoritized women’s leadership development and the role of developmental support, especially with regards to multiple diversified developmental relationships. Therefore, this paper integrates various literature streams (leader development for minoritized women in higher education, IP, mentoring) and offers a conceptual framework that utilizes a developmental network perspective. The propositions offered explain how multiple developers can help minoritized women address IP and develop positive leader identities, as well as how both parties can better anticipate and handle challenges related to diversified developmental relationships in HE.

少数族裔女性在领导职位上的代表性仍然不足，尤其是在高等教育 (HE) 中。有色人种女性进步的一个主要障碍是她们容易受到冒名顶替现象 (IP) 的影响。少数族裔妇女从多个人那里获得发展支持的发展网络是一种潜在的强大干预措施，可以帮助她们提升自己的职业生涯，但在少数族裔妇女的领导力发展和发展支持的作用背景下，普遍缺乏对知识产权的研究，尤其是在多种多元化发展关系方面。因此，本文整合了各种文献流（高等教育中的少数族裔女性的领导者发展、知识产权、指导），并提供了一个利用发展网络视角的概念框架。
