Structuring Leadership

Resource Type: Report
Principle: Reimagine Leadership

For the past ten years, the Building Movement Project has addressed leadership in the nonprofit sector by focusing on generational shifts, multigenerational leadership, and new ways of leading. In each of these areas, the question we are most often asked by younger generations is whether we can provide them with new models of how to run/lead organizations that do not concentrate authority and responsibility in one top person. We believe these models exist but they are either unrecognized or embedded within traditional-looking hierarchies. We also believe that highlighting different leadership structures will offer organizations examples of effective ways to operate that can increase impact.
