African Leadership - Reclaiming Narratives
Listen now
Description
Who gets to create the narrative about what it means to be an African Leader?  In this episode, we chat with Yabome Gilpin-Jackson about the We Will Lead Africa storytelling project, which expands the narratives of what it means to be an African leader beyond the prevailing negative stereotypes. We talk about the power of owning and telling your own leadership story, finding resonance in community, and applying the human process technologies of OD more broadly to support change around social issues.  Check out other books by Yabome at her Amazon page and watch her TEDx Talk about How to Get Past Disconnection to Social Change. If you’re interested in learning more about Organization Development, the Organization Development Network has many helpful resources.  Have a question, comment, or a recommendation for a perfect guest?
