Hosted by: Vermont Municipal Clerks' and Treasurers' Association Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg Facilitator: Dawn Michanowicz, MMC "Perhaps the greatest trap ever set for women was the coining of this phrase," writes Sandberg in Lean In, which expands on her talk's big idea: that increasing the number of women at the top of their fields will benefit everyone. Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, encourages women to challenge the common workplace assumption that "men still run the world." She asks men to be real partners, sharing in the family work that typically leads to a woman's decision to stay home; she asks women who expect to start a family soon not to check out of work mentally. A part of the VMCTA 85th Annual Meeting.

Hosted by: Maine Municipal Association Mandela's Way: Lessons on Life, Love and Courage by Richard Stengel Facilitator: Dawn Michanowicz, MMC Nelson Mandela, who died in 2013 at the age of ninety-five, liberated a country from a system of violent prejudice and helped unite oppressor and oppressed in a way that had never been done before. In Mandela’s Way, Stengel recounts the moments in which “the grandfather of South Africa” was tested and shares the wisdom he learned: why courage is more than the absence of fear, why we should keep our rivals close, why the answer is not always either/or but often “both,” how important it is for each of us to find something away from the world that gives satisfaction like our own garden. This uplifting book captures the spirit of this extraordinary man—warrior, martyr, husband, statesman, and moral leader—and spurs us to look within ourselves, reconsider the things we take for granted, and contemplate the legacy we will leave behind.

While organizations often celebrate the presence of diverse thought, skill sets, cultures, and points-of-view in the work environment, it is not often stressed that reaping benefits from this level of coexistence requires significant self-awareness, empathy, collaboration, patience, and self-regulation. Pluralism is an attainable goal when there is a genuine commitment to maximize benefits of diversity. Participants will learn to: Listen objectively and manage emotions when working with individuals who have different perspectives Recognize and resist tendencies to blame points of disagreement on unrelated characteristics Use effective communication techniques to address core issues that may hijack desired work relationships and operational outcomes if left unattended Prioritize organizational objectives above personal preferences when managing biases
