Co-Leadership
Following on from our Skoll World Forum session, “From heropreneurship to collective leadership”, we share practical guidance, insights and tools from working with a range of inspirational leaders.
Co-leadership is proving an emerging trend from start-ups to multinationals. From co-founders of start-ups, to CEOs looking to bring in others to help lead and grow their business, many are seeing the benefits of a more collaborative approach, including:
- improved wellbeing, with the sharing of reponsibilities and workload.
- better decision making, with a diverse set of skills, perspectives and background.
- a more sustainable team, avoiding over-dependency on any individual, with succession planning.
With their kind permission, we are profiling a range of leadership teams, sharing their journey and insights. Upcoming stories include A Founders Journey, Learnings from Self Management, and For Profit & Purpose.
