Leadership is defined as the ability to lead a team or group, while a leadership position is an assigned role with responsibility for the team's outcome. Underrepresentation refers to insufficient representation, mobility is the ability to move freely, and invisibilization is the act of making something invisible through discourse. The summary reinforces these definitions, highlighting leadership as the potential to manage groups, leadership position as an assigned role, underrepresentation as insufficient representation, mobility as the ability to move freely, and invisibilization as the act of making something invisible.
