The conditions presented by COVID-19 and the ongoing global pandemic have caused many nonprofits to create systems of radical responsiveness. In this Leadership Weekly we look at how a food bank and arts organization responded to the crisis and the profound changes they created. We uplift global dimensions in our latest Tiny Spark podcast, bringing in women leaders from conflict zones around the world who are sounding an alarm about how the withdrawal of the US and the apathy of the Western world hurts women. What can we learn from where we are falling short? Learn why and how DEI consultants bear the hidden costs of that work. Lastly, take a systemic view of what we are up against in gigantic systems like finance, and how practices like credit scoring and appraisals reinforce structural racism—and inspire calls for systemic change. Observing what is working, what is not, and how the system is operating offers information for leaders today aiming for radical response to entwined global humanitarian crises.
