Embracing Collective Leadership
About the workshop
Are you a nonprofit leader or board member trying to keep up with growing demands, tight budgets, and increasingly complex challenges? Are you being asked more often to work with others across sectors or take part in policy networks to tackle issues tied to your organization’s mission?
Many leaders try to meet today’s challenges with old ways of thinking and working—approaches that no longer fit the world we’re in. It gets even harder when people assume that shifting to shared or collective leadership will just happen naturally and be easy. That’s rarely true.
This workshop will look at what it really takes to move toward collective leadership. You’ll get practical tools and resources to help you think critically about how leadership and governance work in nonprofits today. Drawing from real experiences of senior leaders in the field, we’ll also explore how boards, executives, and managers can put collective leadership into action in meaningful ways.
Join Daren Okafo, Tamarack’s Consulting Director of Collective Leadership for this virtual 3.5-hour workshop that will guide you and fellow changemakers to embrace collective leadership practices.
