Racial Justice at Work: The Leadership Imperative

It’s so important in the quest for racial justice that leaders step up with their actions and not just their words. They must be willing to be courageous and vulnerable, and ready to anticipate criticism in the name of justice. In this companion episode for the new book Racial Justice at Work: Practical Solutions for Systemic Change (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2023), lead author Mary-Frances Winters and special projects editor Gabrielle Gayagoy Gonzalez sit down with Lorraine Orr, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, for a conversation based on Winters’ chapter “The Leadership Imperative.” Listen in as they discuss why honesty and showing up as your authentic self is crucial to being the type of leader who will challenge long-held norms to achieve justice.
