In the years since the publication of the First Edition of Peace and Power, the author has refined the processes outlined in the book through her experiences in classrooms, committees, and workshops, building meaningful relationships through a nurturing and empowering leadership method. The Seventh Edition of Peace and Power benefits from these years of positive and constructive leadership experiences. Updated with practical strategies for how to share leadership responsibilities, this new edition outlines strategies for how to hold discussions that include everyone, how to make decisions that consider every point of view, and how to resolve conflict. Readers of Peace and Power will benefit from a handbook that inspires ways of incorporating value into work, home, and community.
I would have to see the precepts of this book in practice before making a formal judgment. Many of the ideas seem a little fluffy/touchy-feely to me. I especially don't like how it is labeled as feminist...why do these values/processes have to be confined to a specific movement/group?
