D'où vient le pouvoir de créer le changement ? | Wendi Williams, Ph.D. | TEDxAtlanta

Dans cette intervention TEDxAtlanta, la psychologue et chercheuse en leadership Wendi Williams, Ph.D., relie un cercle de collégiennes de Brooklyn à un mouvement qui a contribué à la chute du mur de Berlin. Elle s'interroge sur l'origine du pouvoir de créer le changement et sur ce qu'il faut pour persévérer lorsque rien ne garantit que les efforts porteront leurs fruits. Williams repense le leadership à partir de la manière dont le pouvoir se crée, plutôt que de l'autorité et de la réussite individuelle. L'intervention a été donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de façon indépendante par une communauté locale.

• Deux histoires sans lien : des collégiennes de Brooklyn et le mouvement lié au mur de Berlin
• L'origine du pouvoir de créer le changement
• Persévérer quand les résultats sont incertains

What does a circle of schoolgirls in Brooklyn have in common with a movement that helped bring down the Berlin Wall? Psychologist and leadership scholar Wendi Williams connects two seemingly unrelated stories to explore where the power to create change begins, what it takes to keep going when there's no guarantee that our efforts will make a difference. In her work, Wendi Williams reimagines leadership by focusing on how power is created. A psychologist, educator and leadership scholar, Wendi has spent her career examining how identity, power and belonging shape the way people lead and thrive. Her work challenges traditional models of leadership centered on authority and individual achievement, focusing instead on what becomes possible when people create opportunity for one another. Wendi is president of the American Psychological Association and founder of The Well, a leadership development and consulting practice. Previously, she served as provost and senior vice president at Fielding Graduate University and dean of the School of Education at Mills College. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
