Navigating with Integrity: Organizational Culture
Listen now
Description
How do you make decisions? Who is the holder of "respect" and "authority" in an organization? How do we care for each other? These are the kinds of questions that help us map out sustainable futures even when the work is complex and hard to navigate. In the last discussions, we talked about the core values that move our work at WOMAN, Inc. forward both personally and professionally. Join us in this reflection on how existing policies and organizational culture really make a difference in co-creating equity and sustainability for the long haul. This is a part of the series, Introducing Navigating with Integrity: Mindmapping Crisis Response in Nonprofit Leadership. We'll be breaking down what comes up for us when we're talking about dismantling white supremacy culture in the workplace and navigating all of this with integrity.
