The Just Leadership Lab
Overview
Leadership is tough. Now so more than ever. With growing racial unrest, economic inequality, political divisiveness, and calls for diversity, equity, and inclusion, leaders no longer can avoid issues of justice.
These issues are particularly becoming more prevalent in the marketplace, requiring business leaders to navigate complex cultural landmines that can threaten the health and success of their companies. If these leaders don’t have the skill and understanding to wade into these messy waters, they and their companies will be left behind. To be great, they must know how to be just.
But what is justice?
Biblical justice means making everything as it’s supposed to be. It’s both a justice that punishes those who do wrong and a justice that gives people their rights, especially for those who are vulnerable. If God’s justice is in effect, all people are treated equitably and given their due.
The Just Leadership Lab offers a way forward for business, community, and faith leaders who know they need to wade into these messy waters but do not know how – to pursue a pathway to become just leaders so that everyone wins.
The Just Leadership Lab is a collection of resources and learning opportunities to support you in your pursuit of just leadership in the following ways:
- Deepen your understanding of biblical justice
- Develop your ability to navigate cultural landmines at work
- Expand your vision of justice for your community
The Just Leadership Lab is a collaborative project between 11 Ten Leadership and Denver Institute for Faith & Work.
