WI Libraries Talk About Race: Moving from Allyship to Leadership: Agency, Accountability, and Emotional Intelligence

Thu, 12/28/2023 - 01:55
As organizations continue to build practical knowledge around addressing microaggressions, minimizing implicit bias, and developing allies, it won't be enough to just create as many allies and champions as possible. Changing entrenched, biased systems and practices requires leadership at every level of an organization. And leadership around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) will require more than management skills. As DEI leaders (whatever our organizational role may be), we will be required to build agency for social change among our colleagues and model how to hold ourselves - and others - accountable. This can feel challenging when we are among friends, but even more daunting in a work setting. Using a frame of Emotional Intelligence (EQ), we identify how we're already showing up as allies - and how we can develop as relational and brave DEI leaders. With an interactive focus, participants will practice having the challenging - and necessary - conversations that mark DEI work.
