City of Madison Human Resources

For anyone who leads teams to explore how their own identities shape their worldview and thus their management style and approach.

“We must transform ourselves to transform the world.” -Grace Lee BoggsAs managers and leaders who recognize there are systems of oppression in the workplace that we must reckon with and dismantle, we must also tend to the internal work within ourselves to build equity, inclusion, and belonging. We cannot wait for the “system to transform” – we also have to “transform ourselves.” This session is for managers, or anyone who leads teams, to explore how their own identities shape their worldview and thus their management style and approach. Participants will explore concepts such as intersectionality, positionality, identity salience, reflective practice, and deep listening. Through individual and group activities and a case study, participants will use their own self-awareness, behaviors, and interactions as sites of learning.Learning Objectives:<ol><li>Exposure to the concepts of intersectionality, positionality, identity salience, and reflective practice</li><li>Practice reflecting on one’s own identities</li><li>Practice deep listening skills with colleagues</li><li>Practice a liberating structure model for solution building</li></ol>
