Leadership and Networks: A Preliminary Framework

The Leadership and Networks collaborative research project, launched by the Leadership Learning Community in 2009, seeks to influence how leadership is cultivated and supported in the social sector; and to more effectively support efforts to mobilize collective action across sectors to address more systemically complex social and environmental issues. Networks combined with new social technologies are making it possible for leadership to accelerate learning and catalyze social change on an unprecedented scale. To fully embrace this potential, we need to rethink the role of individual leaders and organizations in supporting change. This document is a preliminary framework for the forthcoming publication.

Structural Racism and Leadership

[view] [more info]

The election of our first African American president has sparked debate over how far we have come as a nation on issues of race. Some suggest that we are in a post-racial society, but this assumption has not been supported by recent census statistics. While one in seven people in the U.S. are now living in poverty, statistics show that African Americans and Latinos have fared worse during the recession.

Leadership and Race Synthesis (DRAFT)

[view] [more info]

This is a working draft of the Leadership and Race synthesis. The final publication will be published later this year. Introduction: We live in a multi-racial world where the ability to accumulate wealth, find a job, attend a good school, or live in a healthy neighborhood is largely determined by race. This publication explores the ways in which our current thinking about leadership may actually be contributing to these growing disparities. We believe that we need to change our leadership development thinking and approaches in order to become part of the solution to significant racial inequalities.

A New Leadership Mindset for Scaling Social Change

[view] [more info]

Over the past 50 years our thinking about leadership, whether in communities or board rooms, has been heavily influenced by heroic models of leadership. We traditionally think of leadership as the skills, qualities and behavior of an individual who exerts influence over others to take action or achieves a goal using their position and authority. Leadership for a New Era was launched because we believe this way of thinking about leadership is only one part of the story -- one that does not fully recognize leadership as a process grounded in relationships that are fluid, dynamic, non-directive and non-unilateral. Understanding leadership as a process requires us to think very differently about how change occurs and how we work with others. We will never mobilize leadership at the scale needed for significant progress on social justice or any other complex issue without expanding our thinking about what leadership is, how it works and how we can support it.

Learning from the Past and Future: Leadership for a New Era

[download] [more info]

The Leadership Learning Community (LLC) believes that it is important to ask ourselves what in our current consciousness about leadership needs to change if we are to tackle the problems that we all care so deeply about. For the past eight years the Leadership Learning Community has engaged hundreds of leadership development funders, program staff and researchers in learning about how to cultivate leadership that is inclusive, rooted in community values, action-oriented and focused on results. We have identified the need for a much broader and more culturally inclusive approach to cultivating and sustaining leadership that focuses on nurturing and supporting teams, networks, and communities; and prepares individuals to lead collectively with others whose leadership cultures and practices differ from their own.
