Guiding Vision
Among the significant challenges facing societies is the development of democratic governing capacities for equitably sharing power and using shared power to enhance the common good. In contributing to this development, I define power as the capacity to produce intended results rather than the ability to dominate and control. My work involves assisting diverse people, organizations, communities, and institutions that are willing and able to share power democratically in partnerships addressing a wide variety of issues. It is focused on practical ways of working collaboratively to achieve solutions to societal problems requiring humane and effective collective action guided by mutual respect and commitments to racial equity and social justice.
