Podcasts about leading with dignity

Our friend Donna Hicks, a Harvard professor, world peace negotiator and author of the book, Leading With Dignity, was recently in St. Louis to participate in an event co-sponsored by Barry-Wehmiller at St. Louis University. It was a roundtable discussion on a subject of which Donna is an expert: dignity. We also brought her to Barry-Wehmiller to have a discussion with our senior leadership team. Donna has appeared on this podcast before, but while she was in town we wanted to sit down and have a conversation to talk about her work in defining and characterizing the importance of the concept of dignity. We also wanted to talk with Donna about how Truly Human Leadership and the work Barry-Wehmiller is doing to influence leadership and business honors dignity.

We may be different and unequal in positions of power, but we are all equal in dignity. Dignity consciousness or what international expert on conflict resolution, Dr. Donna Hicks, calls “Mandela Consciousness,” ensures that nobody can take away your dignity. Dignity is your inherent value or worth. You're born with it. It is different to respect, which is earned. At the heart of every conflict and injustice in the world is an assault on human dignity. As leaders, how do we ensure that the way we lead upholds the dignity of the people we're leading. Join this conversation between Dr. Hicks and Anne Pratt as they unravel the threads of this unspoken human conversation that may just be the key to resolving conflicts and creating a culture that brings out the best in people.Love the show?

Dr. Montessori writes in Citizen of the World “What is most wanted is no patronizing charity for humanity, but a reverent consciousness of its dignity and worth.” This next conversation with professor, consultant, and author Donna Hicks explores her most recent book Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People, which was published by Yale University Press in August 2018. Her dignity work is a result of her unofficial diplomatic efforts to bring peace to places in conflict around the world. Our discussion takes us into the importance of dignity work in classrooms and how our awareness is the beginning point of that work.

"nobody can "demand respect", because respect has to be earned, but everyone can demand to be treated with dignity.. " Great conversation with Donna as we explore the concept of dignity and how to put it into words and actions. Donna underlines the power of giving a label to profoundly emotional human reactions that are impossible to articulate in difficult/conflict situations. Using the right language legitimises suffering, opens doors for understanding and starts discussions. Leaders must understand that Dignity is our highest common denominator. We need to acknowledge that we are worthy no matter what, and we that need the emotional infrastructure to ensure that we can survive negative experiences, atone for mistakes and recover from violation and violating others' dignity.  Humanity/dignity is a level playing field yet sadly shame and fear form the basis of much organisational culture, and there is not necessarily a place for emotions, vulnerability or compassion. Here dignity skills are required for building a safe environment and leaders need to understand how this can help to create a more inclusive workplace, and create a whole new paradigm of empowerment.  Donna shares her insights, research and experience from working with Dignity and the dignity model with leaders across the globe.  The main insights you'll get from this episode are :  This approach is applicable to and resonates in all arenas; dignity is the highest common denominator of humans, who all want to be treated as something of value - indeed, the ‘D' in DE&I could just as well stand for dignity as we should all treat each other with dignity. Dignity, and the assaulting thereof, gives a label to profoundly emotional human reactions that are impossible to articulate in difficult/conflict situations - using the right language legitimises suffering, opens doors and starts discussions. Mandela consciousness – nobody can be stripped of their dignity, we are the guardians of our own dignity and it unifies us. The biggest dignity violators are those who have been violated the most. We must understand that we are worthy no matter what; we need the emotional infrastructure to ensure that we survive negative experiences, atone for mistakes and recover from violation and violating others. There is a fundamental difference between dignity and respect: we cannot ‘demand' respect (it should be earned), but we can ‘demand' to be treated as a human being (we can learn it). As dignity-conscious people, we require the 3 c's: connection to our own dignity, connection to others' dignity, connection to something greater than ourselves that gives life meaning. Leaders must frame these connections for employees for an organisation to have dignity too, but there is often a disconnect between these three connections in organisations - everyone should be able to connect regardless of their position in the organisation. There are ten elements of dignity: accepting identity, fairness, independence, recognition, acknowledgement, understanding, safety, accountability, inclusion, benefit of the doubt. -       80% of people said safety was the most violated element in the workplace – they don't speak up when something bad happens, they ‘suck up' dignity violations and can't be their authentic selves. There are dignity skills required for a safe environment: being able to speak up and give / receive feedback skilfully – humans have a biological aversion to feedback and we must take the shame out of it by using disarming language and practicing delivery. We all have blind spots and feedback is a learning opportunity that should be seen as positive, not negative, to help leaders in a workplace move from self-reflection to self-correction. Humanity/dignity is a level playing field yet sadly shame and fear form the basis of much organisational culture – problems often stem from bad policy, therefore the...

We are seeing conflict move so quickly to chaos these days.Anger, entitlement and self-preservation can kick into overdrive when you feel devalued. We forget about relationships and fight to be right, no matter the cost.Civility is pushed aside more and more as we navigate our differences.The wounds of relational trauma, betrayal, neglect, poverty, racism are playing out in so many spaces of public gatherings and personal relationships.But now is not the time to throw our hands up and walk away from this messy state of affairs.Yes, there is a lot happening that takes us out of our space of leading from confidence, clarity and calm. It is inevitable that our emotions will overwhelm us at some point.But it is essential that we cultivate spaces together that encourage conflict that moves us towards solutions, not sensational soundbites.We have to look at how we communicate and the language we use. We have to intentionally set expectations and guidelines for what is okay and what is not okay.We have to lead with dignity, which means doing the deep inner work so we can show up and lead by facing our biases and recognizing the inherent worth of every person.Today's guest fosters civil dialogue and inspires communities to build strength, courage and purpose.Rosalind Wiseman is the founder of Cultures of Dignity; an organization that shifts the way communities think about our physical and emotional wellbeing by working in close partnership with the experts of those communities–young people, educators, policymakers, and business and political leaders.She is also an internationally recognized author of multiple books, including Queen Bees and Wannabes, the groundbreaking best-seller and basis for the movie Mean Girls and its subsequent Broadway adaptation.Listen to the full episode to hear:How to define and foster a culture of dignity through deep listening and engaging with ideasThe real value of debating in good faith and what our culture gets wrong about “winning”How the dynamics of authority and expertise we enforce with kids can defeat our purposes, and ways to turn them aroundHow to use principles of a culture of dignity to set expectations and norms for handling conflict and dysregulationWhy young people need more than just to know their rights, they need skills to implement them and a responsibility to advocate for otherLearn more about Rosalind Wiseman:Cultures of DignityQueen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and the New Realities of Girl WorldLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the Weekly Rumble EmailResources:Rosalind Wiseman on Art of Power Podcast
