A Conversation on Leadership in Civil Resistance
Presenter: Dr. Deborah Nutter / Senior Associate Dean, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
Date: Wednesday, June 27th, 2012
Time: 2:00pm - 3:30pm
Description: To give effective leadership to a civil resistance movement, an organizer must be able to strategically organize and plan, visualize a future that the movement wants to achieve, elicit sustained and value-driven participation, and effectively negotiate with disparate parts of a coalition for action, and with other institutions. The leader must articulate ideas and generate tactical actions that build the movement in order to shift perceived legitimacy from the current system to a new society sought by the people. Dean Deborah Winslow Nutter leads a discussion on leadership, based on these and other ideas, with two leaders of civil resistance: Czeslaw Bielecki of Poland, and Lhadon Tethong on behalf of Tibet.

Comments
Many believe that having a charismatic leader is not a prerequisite for every civil resistance movement.And I think some people imply this notion in a wrong way.
Chain of command and having a single person or a group of committed people who lead the movement is important for civil resistance.
