0 comments
The world we live in has become increasingly polarized.
On a daily basis, we are witnessing increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. In his groundbreaking new book, The Souls of Queer Folk: How Understanding LGBTQ+ Cultural Values Can Transform Your Leadership Practice, Dr. Davis Brown dives into why being a transformational leader requires you to be “Queer-Minded.”
“In the mindset of these challenges, Queer-Minded leadership can teach any of us how to be more fully expressed, unfailingly resilient, and creatively adaptive as we seek to lead and meet the challenges of the 21st century,” says leadership expert and coach Dr. Joel A. Davis Brown.
In the book, Dr. Davis Brown demonstrates how the values and norms of the LGBTQ+ community are instructive for leaders in all types of business and industry and can serve as the foundation for a bold, new brand of transformative leadership. Using quantitative and qualitative research methods, he conducted a study to illuminate the lived experiences and cultural values of the LGBTQ+ community. Based on that research, he developed 9 leadership dimensions that show how understanding the cultural imprint of the LGBTQ+ community is essential for organizations to be employers of choice and for global communities to maintain their vitality.
