Leadership and Management in International Development

What 'leadership for change' means to us: 

 

What do development practitioners most need to learn about leadership and management?  

 

We believe that it’s a requirement of those who are leading and managing to seek to be authentic, self-aware and effective. To better connect and coordinate action with others.

To really flourish in roles they believe in and contribute to purposes they are inspired by.  

 

 

 

 

WHY WE THINK IT’S IMPORTANT:

 

We believe that in turbulent, uncertain times there’s a compelling call for purpose-driven organisations to grow differently and dynamically. And that those in management and leadership roles need to usher in new ways of working and be different from their predecessors.  They have a particular accountability and unique influence – to enable their organisations to develop as complex, adaptive systems in service of their purpose. 

Good management is the life blood of effective operations and delivery.  And good leadership can liberate organisations to adapt, realise their potential and achieve impact.  It is often said that the very best organisations “liberate the leader in everyone”.

What is needed from Leadership in a VUCA world?

.

In our fast changing global context, there’s a great space of possibilities for how leadership is perceived and exercised, and scope to approach leadership thinking and concepts from different angles. Although traditional leadership and management models still have a place, for us to reach the SDG’s we must enquire into what is now required of leadership – in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world, and how we can be part of expressing fitting leadership.   

Two qualities of fitting leadership are relational and emotional skills. Leaders who develop these skills are able to mediate and create safe...
