CHAPTER 3
Preserving and Honoring Individual and Collective Dignity 
Joy comes from preserving and honoring the dignity of all whom we encounter in our leadership journey. Often, we operate from a place of prioritizing tasks and accomplishments over relationships. This, however, does not lead to transformation. When we uphold the dignity and agency of the people we are trying to lead, influence, or organize, our impact can be so much greater and last long beyond our time in leadership. The vignettes in this section highlight the many ways in which we find joy in dignifying and lifting others, just as we do for ourselves.
