03 We Can't Afford to "Sanitize" the Legacy of Juneteenth (and What Came After)
A century before it became a federal holiday, the African American community has been celebrating the end of slavery in the U.S. on June 19, 1865. Juneteenth (also celebrated as Jubilee Day) commemorates the legal end of our country's most shameful period. But as we know, Black Americans did not achieve equality the day emancipation was finally enforced. In fact, the months and years directly after Juneteenth played a pivotal role in the segregation and criminalization of the Black community — history we still reckon with today.
This week on Humanity @Work, Kristi yields the floor to Tracy Ward, Chief People Officer with PartnerHero, and her guest Roger Crawford, an attorney and the Equal Employment Opportunity Director of Marin County, CA. Together, they explore the fascinating legacy of Juneteenth and the cultural, economic, and political forces that took hold immediately after.
Specifically, they focus on the brief "moment" of history when African Americans started to rebuild their schools, churches, and civil rights, only for that progress to by ripped away with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the ascension of president Andrew Johnson. This tumult, the reinstating of Confederate politicians, and the creation of so-called "Black Codes" set true equality back 100 years. They also discuss how a deep analysis of this often-overlooked period can benefit modern efforts for diversity, equity, and inclusion.

01 Trust & Leadership: 3 Key Steps to Get Extraordinary Results From Any Team | Stacy Faulkenberry, Senior Policy Analyst / U.S. Army Special Operations
Accountability starts with yourself, and accepting that will change the entire dynamic of an organization. No one knows this better than Stacy Faulkenberry, who has served in leadership roles in the U.S. Army for 25 years, and continues to advise key defense organizations. In her line of work, trust is paramount, and often the difference between life and death.
So how can we map this military mindset to the civilian world? Hint: It has nothing to do with barking orders or doing push-ups.
In this episode, Kristi and Stacy go deep on how well-lead teams can produce results you can't even perceive yet, and why trust-deprived teams will incur a "personality cost" — your biggest expense, even if it doesn't show up on the P&L.
Also: Why Stacy joined the army at 17, the art of risk management, "death by PowerPoint," the curse of micromanagement, and why it's physically unhealthy for leaders to be unkind.
