"There is no limit to power: The world is better when we ALL have power… and we have to recognize this, even if society doesn't." - Lisa Marie Pickens
Why do so many DEI initiatives fall short? What does shared power look like in organizations, even the homogenous ones? Can a shared power analysis reframe and expand DEI work?
