Hello everyone!
We hope you know that the Leadership Development Working Group
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Leadership_Development_Working_Group
(LDWG)
has been working for the past few months to formulate and find ways to
nurture leadership for our movement. The LDWG is a group of Wikimedia
volunteers representing different communities, languages, roles, and
experiences. We are pleased to report that our draft definition of
leadership
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Leadership_Development_Working_Group/Content
is
now available for community comment. This first draft was written after
months of discussion, learning, and sharing of perspectives from our
community. The Wikimedia Movement, which is diverse by nature and has
particular characteristics due to its distinctive way of working, has been
expressly considered and included in this definition.
Please consider revising the definition and let us know what you think
by* October
6, 2022*. The draft includes a general definition of leadership and
subcategories detailing the actions, qualities, and results of good
leadership.
There are many places where you can express your ideas, suggestions, and
feedback, such as the Meta talk page
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Leadership_Development_Working_Group
,
the feedback form,
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchUS1h0ftawc3OPyW5B6ct1Xbo6Pso9nHWvnkcLOIX2W86DQ/viewform
and
the Movement Strategy Forum
https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/leadership-development-working-group/1404
post.
You can also email us directly at *leadershipworkinggroup@wikimedia.org
leadershipworkinggroup@wikimedia.org* .
You can check if the general definition and the subcategories fit your idea
of leadership in the movement. You can also try to find information gaps,
maybe some of the qualities of a leader or something else are missing in
this draft definition, or you can check if the definition applies to all
cultural, linguistic, community or other contexts belonging to the movement
and share your ideas with us.
Join us in celebrating the diverse and distinctive leadership of our
movement.
Cordially,
The Leadership Development Task Force
