Meet Somerville Mayor Katjana Ballantyne

By Mayor Katjana …, 14 February, 2022

CW: What do you mean by inclusive?  

BALLANTYNE: Inclusive leadership to me means it can get messy, that all people have an opportunity to have a voice at the table. It means that you sit back a little bit and you let those who are most impacted be able to speak and listen and not necessarily step over them. For me, inclusive leadership works because you get buy in, you get shared purpose, you get a better result at the end of the day.
