Dori Tunstall: How inclusive leadership inspires greater meaning and purpose

In today’s episode, I speak with Dori Tunstall. Dori is the Dean
of Design at Ontario College of Art and Design University, and
the first black female dean of a faculty of design. She is a
design anthropologist, public intellectual, and design advocate
who works at the intersections of critical theory, culture, and
design. Dori leads the Cultures-Based Innovation Initiative
focused on using old ways of knowing to drive innovation
processes that directly benefit communities.

We dive into the depth of design and its interconnectedness with
meaning and purpose, the importance of aligning your values with
what you do to create understanding and empathy for cultural
differences, as well as tactical ways to practice inclusive
leadership by listening deeply and responding with compassion and
generosity.
