The motto “be the change you want to see in the world” has manifested in DataCenter’s Shared Leadership Model since 2006. With a Design Team comprised of representatives from Bay Area social justice organizations, we convened a monthly three part-series of dialog with more than thirty other organizations to document our diverse experiences – both successes and challenges – exploring alternatives to a top-down leadership structure as a social justice movement. We listened to each other and exchanged tools and resources, as well as wisdom. The knowledge capture using participatory methodologies imparted insights appreciated by grantmakers, capacity-builders, and organizers alike. Check out the powerpoint summary of this experience, recently presented at the brownbag hosted by Learning Leadership Community – the funder of the series – available on our websites!
