In this Leadership Weekly, we look at how equity-driven leadership flourished because of—not despite—the pandemic’s halt to conditions that made our lives feel “normal.” Instead of bemoaning the so-called “Great Resignation” as an issue of individual motivation and affective malaise, some industry leaders are welcoming a kind of resignation: resignation from work that makes life unbalanced, exhausting, and only enriching (in every respect) for the few. As Alissa Quart writes in a photo-essay about the rise of worker co-ops during the pandemic, “it’s no wonder that people are drawn to a model that gives them back some power.” In our podcast about the return of Broadway, actor Hiram Delgado lights upon a similar realization: “Why not focus on the work that I actually want to do…instead of just saying yes because this is a gig?” Lastly, we feature two articles from last month about post-pandemic lessons in leadership: the need for lasting radical responsiveness and new partnership models that foreground community and collaboration.
