Herstory: Evoking the Lessons of Great Women Leaders with Kristin Williams Leading from the Inside Out: The AST Leadership Learning Podcast

    • Self-Improvement

Dr. Kristin Williams joins us for a conversation about the leadership lessons she has learned through her work as a leader in the non-profit sector and through her own research into women's leadership.

Kristin is the President & CEO of Junior Achievement of Nova Scotia, a global charity with a mission to empower youth. She is the project lead for the Nova Scotia Business Hall of Fame and the associated Legacy Project which has funded two arts and education installations celebrating the business history of Nova Scotia.

A critical management scholar with a focus on equality, diversity and inclusion, Kristin identifies as a polemical feminist engaged in critical historiography, activist writing and narrative methods and she investigates neglected figures of significance, novel theoretical approaches, alternative ways of organizing, and overlooked innovative management strategies and practices. She was the recipient of the 2018 Senior Women Academic Administrators of Canada Award of Merit, she was a Nova Scotia Innovation Graduate Scholar (2015-2019), and the 2018 Emerald Literati Award recipient for Outstanding Paper published in the Journal of Management History.

Kristin will lead the session, Herstory: Evoking the lessons of great women leaders, as part of our Leading from the Inside Out series. You can learn more and register for the series here.
