In the years since the publication of the first edition of Peace and Power, the author has refined the processes outlined in the book through her experiences in classrooms, committees, and workshops, building meaningful relationships through a nurturing and empowering leadership method. The Seventh Edition of Peace and Power benefits from these years of positive and constructive leadership experiences. Updated with practical strategies for how to share leadership responsibilities, this new edition outlines strategies for how to hold discussions that include everyone, how to make decisions that consider every point of view, and how to resolve conflict.

Readers of Peace and Power will benefit from a handbook that inspires ways of incorporating value into work, home, and community. For seven editions, nurse leaders have relied on this book to provide a hands-on guide for developing cooperative group processes and for overcoming the habits of exclusionary group interactions.
