Ann Garrido: Redeeming Leadership

Author, speaker, and scholar Ann Garrido talks with Notre Dame's Kevin Baxter about her leadership journey and the enduring relevance of her three-book 'Redeeming' series for Catholic school educators building culture and navigating conflict. Hear Ann share how writing also served as a way to access mentorship during her professional development as a school administrator; the new challenge in contemporary society of resolving conflict when even facts can no longer agreed upon; and reconciling the complicated nature of power with the Catholic imperative to use it well. "We will tend not to see ourselves as having power because we don't want to be associated with that.; it's considered often with abuse or oppression," Garrido says. "But power from a Christian lens has the potential to be good. And if one does have power and one does not use it, well, that's where you get in the greatest danger."
