Onde começa o poder de criar mudanças? | Wendi Williams, Ph.D. | TEDxAtlanta

Nesta palestra do TEDxAtlanta, a psicóloga e pesquisadora em liderança Wendi Williams, Ph.D., conecta um grupo de colegiais do Brooklyn a um movimento que ajudou a derrubar o Muro de Berlim. Ela explora onde começa o poder de criar mudanças e o que é preciso para continuar quando não há garantia de que o esforço fará diferença. Williams reformula a liderança com foco em como o poder é criado, e não na autoridade e na conquista individual. A palestra foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente por uma comunidade local.

• Duas histórias sem relação: colegiais do Brooklyn e um movimento ligado ao Muro de Berlim
• Onde começa o poder de criar mudanças
• Persistir quando os resultados são incertos

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
