March 19 @ 14:00 – 15:00 EDT
A common story: mission-driven organizations that write beautiful words on their website. But under the hood and behind closed doors, it’s the same old same old power dynamics. It’s disheartening to see how many organizations struggle to be the organization they want to be – despite best intentions.
The missing link is often the lack of a governance system that creates conditions where a positive culture can evolve and thrive.
- Instead of unacknowledged power-over or apathy, find clarity.
- Instead of pretty words and analysis paralysis, find action.
- Instead of saying “we’re inclusive and we care”, implement the structures that support it.
Many of those aspects can be addressed by the governance system sociocracy. We will show why awareness-based approaches and good intentions alone can’t address a lack of integrity, and what practices and tools actually work – not for being perfect but closer to who we want to be.
This webinar is part of our Leading Together with Sociocracy webinar series for non-profits, small biz, activists, and communities. Check out the other two webinars:
