Workshop: Using Power Responsibly for People Leaders
Employee expectations for their employers and supervisors are changing. The pandemic, racial justice uprisings, and generational shifts are reshaping workplace power dynamics. We need to adapt or risk losing valued employees and constant staffing churn.
Join Team Dynamics and your fellow network people leaders for a free, two-part virtual workshop October 12th & 26th from 2pm - 3pm. We’ll interrogate the ways we all experience power and learn how to use our identities to build power with others.
