Joan has written and co-written numerous books about organizational management and how to resolve conflicts in the workplace. She's the recent author of the upcoming book, Women Leaders at the Grassroots: 9 stories and 9 strategies.
In this conversation we talk about the special role that women play in creating social change as weavers of webs of association and by being models of balanced living. We talk about the importance of inclusion. We talk about listening to the voices of the voiceless, and making the extra effort to lift up those around us that the current systems doesn't hear. We ponder the difference between managers and leaders, between the quality of leadership and the role of being a leader. While managers focus on “doing things right” by following the rules, true leaders focus on “doing the right thing” by asking: Am I following my values? Am I speaking up for the right group of people?
