My blog, A User's Guide to Power, explores power, leadership, and what I call the 'democratic arts,' the microskills of relationship and minutia of interaction that comprise a democratic way of life. My work as a facilitator and consultant with groups and organizations struggling with issues of leadership, power, and change, taught me that democratization is a psychological process if it is ever to be a political one. How we use power, govern ourselves and others, work with difference and tolerate uncertainty are the necessary ingredients for a thriving democracy. Please join me in thinking and learning about this timely and crucial topic.
