Workshop 4: Ethical Stewardship of Power

Wednesday, December 14th | 2:00pm-4:00pm MNT

Presented by: Kristi Chester-Vance, TREC Contractor

Power is fundamental to leadership and all human interactions. It is woven through every aspect of our work and social lives showing up in formal roles and authority, relationships, communication, and virtually every interaction. As common and ubiquitous as it is, it can also be poorly understood, under and over emphasized, or used and abused. Often, it is spoken about in a negative connotation. In this session, we look at how when leading we are granted power and take power, as well as give power, and through it all, have the opportunity to empower.
