** Leadership Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
This week, we are inspired by the leaders of two organizations—Recess ([link removed]) and The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth ([link removed]) (CFSY)—who share perspectives on how co-directorship can be a canvas upon which to reimagine how we work together as people striving towards equity and justice. In covering shared leadership for many years now at NPQ, we know that there is no one model or “right way” to change the way we use and distribute power in an organization. That said, we know that the hunger to do so has never been greater and that sharing leaders’ stories and insights as they experiment is immensely valuable for all of us.
