LEADERWISE LEARNING HOURHow Do We Share and Distribute Power?
Power is confusing. Our relationship to it is complex.
It often feels like others have power, and we don’t. After all, doesn’t it seem like we, as leaders, are constantly trying to appeal to and appease our clients, our stakeholders, and our teams? (We won’t even get into our home and family life.)
Let’s get some clarity on power. In this 60-minute session, Rev. Dr. Kristina Lizardy-Hajbi will present the major concepts of power (start here), alongside time for small group engagement and Q&A. You’ll gain a healthier relationship with power and some tools for sharing it well.
About: Kristina is an associate professor of leadership and formation and director of the Vocational Formation Office at Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. A Latina scholar-practitioner, Kristina’s current research interests lie at the intersection of religious leadership, community formation, and decolonial praxis, exploring questions about why and how liberative change unfolds. She is the author of Unraveling Religious Leadership: Power, Authority, and Decoloniality (Fortress, 2024) and co-editor of Explore: Vocational Discovery in Ministry (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022), along with numerous articles and reports.
