Shared Leadership and Shared Power for Nonprofits
Shared leadership can undeniably lead to more healthy and functioning organizations, larger impact, increased efficiency, and more collective care. But how can organizations shift to or build shared leadership effectively? What does it take to move beyond theories and ideas and actually be in the practice of growing shared leadership and sharing power?
While many focus on models and structures, Rooted in Integrity focuses on tested and proven ways to change culture including ways of being along with creating shared expectations for accountability.
Through small group consulting and facilitation, we work together on the following:
- How to move productively through conflict including building agreement in a group
- Define shared accountability and clarifying individual roles including overlap within the group
- Get clear on how decisions are made
- Explore how to clearly articulate shared expectations
- Redefine the role that nonprofit boards can play to be most supportive of the people in the organization as well as the communities a nonprofit organization serves
- Investigate alternative models like minimally viable boards and action teams
Many consultants offer promises of quick change that are too often based in theory and not real-world applications. At Rooted in Integrity, shared leadership is not an idea, but rather a practice. All ideas, skills, tools, and resources shared come from years of applied work. To effectively implement shared leadership takes attention to culture, ways of being, communication, and trust building. We can work together with your budget to set realistic expectations to invest in the type of longer-term change that can lead to a more thriving organization.
