As the scope and intensity of nonprofit leadership roles continue to grow, our sector faces increasing challenges of burn-out, leadership turnover and diminished effectiveness. One strategy some organizations have turned to is “shared leadership.” This approach seeks to distribute responsibility for steering the organization among a team of two (or more) leaders. The rewards can be great, but intentionally establishing roles, communication and trust-building are critical. In this workshop we will explore several models for shared leadership, how organizations might approach adopting and implementing such models, as well as case studies of organizations that have successfully transitioned to this approach.
Learning Outcomes:
This workshop will blend theory with practical strategies, giving nonprofit leaders the knowledge and tools to integrate shared leadership models into their organizations successfully.
- Understand the principles and benefits of adopting a shared leadership model.
- Learn practical tools for implementing shared leadership structures.
- Identify strategies to promote collaboration, trust, and accountability in shared leadership teams.
- Develop a draft action plan to incorporate shared leadership principles or models into your nonprofit.
