Leadership Weekly

This week’s Leadership newsletter looks at efforts to redistribute power and hierarchies from activism to the workplace. First, we kick off a new series in partnership with the Protect Dissent Network with a piece by Julia Reticker-Flynn calling on funders to invest in protecting the liberatory power of dissent. Our next piece looks at the growing body of research on the damaging effects of autocratic management practices and why humanistic practices can counteract these to create healthier, more democratic workplaces. Next, we look at the story of how one organization abolished the “Executive Director” title—and how by going against professional norms and expectations they reaped professional, economic, and emotional benefits. Finally, we look at restorative leadership that internalizes democratic, anti-authoritarian values to promote racial and health justice.
