Leadership Lessons: Five Insights from Directors Sharing Power
A short article with 5 findings from co-directors who share the top job. Shared leadership reflects mission and identity. It becomes an ethos across the whole organisation, seen in practices like narrow pay ratios. It can mean more work while cutting the isolation of a solo leader. Co-leaders must manage when they speak for themselves or as a unit, including with funders who expect one contact. It depends on trust between partners.
