Hi folks, As September draws to a close, so does Angela Robertson's term as an Open Organization Ambassador.
Angela joined the group in 2017 and wasted no time making an impact. She quickly became a prominent voice advocating for a new, more open style of organizational leadership, penning articles on the importance of vulnerability [1], patience [2], and empowerment [3] in the workplace. She also contributed some of our most extensive community guides to more open meetings, including a primer on one-on-one meetings [4] and a more exhaustive piece that appeared in the second edition of _The Open Organization Leaders Manual_. At monthly ambassador meetings, we could always count on Angela for a much-needed dose of perspective and an inspiring degree of honesty through transparency. Her candor about the challenges she faces as she works to better understand her open leadership style drew others into conversation about difficult and trying issues. That penchant for sharing extended outside the group, too. During a round-table discussion celebrating the open organization community's anniversary, Angela offered her expertise and insights with a wider audience—so good and well-received that we decided to post the entire conversation on YouTube [5]. Thank you, Angela, for your camaraderie, support, kindness, and contributions!
