“We see abilities in others; we don’t see weaknesses.”

On Wednesday, we launched the first of ten DiverseCity Perspectives videos, seeking to change the way leaders are imagined, shaped and chosen. David Meyer of Birchmount Bluffs Neighbourhood Centre shared his perspective on the importance of collaborative, participatory leadership.

In this video, meet Ranjana Mitra, Executive Director of the Community Environment Alliance. In addition to sharing her unique leadership story and approach, she tells us how a visit to a landfill in India inspired her to start Share-IT, a program that collects, refurbishes, and redistributes used electronic equipment.

Want more? We’ll be sharing the next Perspectives interview on Wednesday.
