Abstract
In this introduction to the anthology, Servant-Leadership, Feminism, and Gender Well-Being, I reflect on the challenges society faces in the current environment of a crisis of care. Among these I address the struggle for equality—not just for women, but for the dignity of all marginalized groups. Pointing out injustice creates awkward moments, sometimes violent moments. In order to better deal with conflict and resist destroying each other, a consistent and intentional pursuit of integration is needed. When views and values conflict, we need a language for taming conflict, holding environments for suspending vulnerability, and protocols for shaping resilience. With this anthology, we aspire to get awkward and raise awareness of the crisis of care exemplified in leadership inequality. We aspire to provide insight into the alternative pathways that appreciative inquiry, care ethics, and servant-leadership can provide both in times of crisis and in times of perceived normalcy. It is our hope to inspire and equip our readers with language to approach conflict with courage, to stand and create the awkwardness we need to evolve.
