All Things Change Podcast Session:

REGISTER HERE to join Steve Cady in conversation with Joe Raelin:

In leadership-as-practice, or L-A-P, we look for leadership in everyday practices, those regular and sometime emergent activities performed by various actors and their artifacts within the organization as they engage in a mutual endeavor.  In particular, leadership occurs when there is a turning point or change in trajectory in the flow of these activities.  Consequently, in L-A-P, to find leadership we must look to the practices with which it is occurring.

Join host Steve Cady and guest, Joe Raelin, in a fast paced dialog, including group activity, as we explore the contribution of L-A-P to leadership theory and practice.

Tanya founded Rise Together because of her belief that when the workforce, economic development, and newcomer communities work together, our cities will transform. As an impact firm, Rise Together partners with communities to develop policies, coalitions, and programs that will enable us to create a future where everyone can thrive, not just survive.
