My Equitable Ops leadership team has been working through selected exercises in Lily Zheng’s Reconstructing #DEI. This week, we talked through our reflections to #14 Determine Your Power. Ya’ll, it was *so* interesting (doesn’t hurt that our team is fully of wildly interesting, thoughtful people). We reflected on what’s types of power are comfortable for us, how we have and use different forms in different contexts, and saw how we could lean on each other in the context of our roles. This is why I absolutely love this work book. Only 2 of the people on the team are technically in DEI jobs. But the lessons Lily has crafted are relevant, imho, for all leaders. Link to buy in the comments!
I love mine! Probably more fun with a team so I will keep that in mind!
This sounds like a great exercise! It's amazing to see how different forms of power can be utilized in various contexts.
Be great to see the both of you leading a session for an upcoming Culture First Conference
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like I need to get my hands on this one ASAP
