Pertama-tama saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih
yang setinggi-tingginya
kepada Kelompok Kerja Pembinaan Kepemimpinan yang telah menghasilkan
definisi ini. Saya pikir ini satu langkah maju yang diperlukan untuk
mendorong implementasi rekomendasi Strategi Gerakan mengenai penanaman
modal dalam pembinaan keterampilan dan kepemimpinan.
Berkebalikan dengan respon-respon negatif yang diterima oleh prakarsa
ini, saya rasa mendefinisikan bentuk kepemimpinan yang diperlukan oleh
gerakan Wikimedia secara luas adalah sesuatu yang sudah semestinya kita
miliki, sebagai sebuah gerakan antarabangsa yang memiliki jaringan dan
struktur tata kelola yang rumit, saling terkait, dan mengandalkan waktu
para sukarelawan yang berharga.
Diskusi mengenai pembinaan kepemimpinan terutama sekali bersifat mendesak
untuk wilayah gerakan Wikimedia yang tidak pernah, atau kurang sekali,
terwakili dalam tata kelola gerakan secara global. Saya berbicara tentang
wilayah asal saya, rantau Asia Tenggara dan Pasifik, yang memiliki tingkat
keberagaman proyek Wikimedia yang sangat tinggi, barangkali hanya dapat
disaingi oleh beberapa wilayah lain dalam gerakan; organisasi-organisasi
mitra lokal yang aktif; dan basis penyunting maupun pasar pembaca yang
terus berkembang seiring dengan penetrasi Internet yang semakin mendalam.
Meski wilayah ini memiliki status-status sedemikian, Wikimediawan/wati dari
rantau Asia Tenggara tidak pernah ada yang berhasil duduk di Dewan Pengawas
Yayasan Wikimedia, dan keterwakilan dari rantau ini sangat terbatas pada
badan-badan tata kelola gerakan seperti Komite Afiliasi, Komite Bahasa,
bahkan badan yang saat ini bertugas untuk merumuskan piagam gerakan. Hal
ini tentu saja tidak dapat dijelaskan secara tunggal melalui "kecelakaan
sejarah", tetapi akan jauh lebih mudah untuk melihatnya dari lensa
kurangnya penanaman modal dan komitmen jangka panjang untuk urusan
kepemimpinan ini.
Kerja-kerja ini tidak akan selesai dalam waktu dekat, dan tidak akan
menghasilkan suatu hasil akhir yang dapat memuaskan seluruh pihak yang
memiliki kepentingan dalam gerakan Wikimedia. Namun, apa yang dapat kita
lakukan tentu saja adalah mencoba terlebih dahulu. Masalah-masalah seperti
yang saya sebutkan di atas, dalam konteks rantau asal saya namun juga saya
tahu terjadi pada beberapa wilayah lain, tidak akan selesai dengan saling
menuding dan mempermasalahkan apakah kerja-kerja ini perlu dilakukan atau
tidak.
Saya mengajak para Wikimediawan/wati yang memiliki perhatian khusus pada
hal ini untuk turut serta membantu Kelompok Kerja dalam diskusi yang
penting ini.

ready for community feedback!
Dear Ivan,
I am very sorry, but I honestly don't understand what any of this is
for, and why the WMF is spending money on defining leadership – money
collected under the pretence that money is urgently needed to keep
Wikipedia online – given that community feedback to this initiative to date
seems to be largely negative.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Leadership_Development_Working_Group
It is not like the world lacks definitions of leadership. Aren't we
spending donors' money to reinvent the wheel here?
Could I refer back to an interesting thread Samuel Klein started a while
back, titled "Simplifying governance processes"?
https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org…
To me, at least, what Samuel and others said in that thread seemed to be
pertinent to initiatives like this one. Samuel started by saying,
"Dear Board (and all), The growing complexity of governance efforts is
defeating us. Process creep is an existential threat for projects like ours
– it is self-perpetuating if not actively curtailed, as it filters out
people who dislike excess process. There's a reason 'bureaucrats' and
'stewards' have unglamorous titles. Global governance in particular seems
to be suffering from this now. Let's try to scale it back!"
He received no reply from the WMF, at least not here on this list where
he posted.
It seems to me we are spending a great deal of money to produce words –
but not words in Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource etc., that the public
enjoys and finds valuable, but words on Meta talking about ourselves in the
best navel-gazing tradition.
Now, maybe I have this all back to front and am simply clueless ... so
if someone feels like enlightening me, please do!
Best,
Andreas

TL;DR: The draft leadership definition[1] prepared by the Leadership
Development Working Group is ready for community feedback! Please share
your feedback on Meta[2], the feedback form[3] or the Movement Strategy
Forum[4]. You can also directly mail us at
leadershipworkinggroup(a)wikimedia.org. The feedback will be collected
till October 6, 2022.
Hello everyone!
I hope you are aware that the Leadership Development Working Group[5]
has been working over the past few months to formulate and find ways to
nurture the leadership of our movement. The Leadership Development Working
Group (LDWG) is a group of Wikimedia volunteers representing different
communities, languages, roles, and experiences. We are pleased to inform
the community that our draft definition of leadership is now available for
community feedback. This first draft definition of leadership was written
after months of discussion, learning, and sharing from our community
perspective. The Wikimedia Movement, which is by nature diverse and
distinctive in its own way, is expressly addressed by this definition.
Please consider going through the definition and letting us know what
you think by October 6, 2022. The draft definition includes a general
definition of leadership and subcategories that elaborate on the actions,
qualities, and outcomes of good leadership.
There are many places where you can express your ideas, suggestions, and
comments, such as the meta talk page[2], the feedback form[3], and Movement
Strategy Forum Post[4]. You can also directly mail us at
leadershipworkinggroup(a)wikimedia.org.
You can check if the general definition, and the subcategories align
with your idea of leadership in the movement. You can also try finding the
gaps, maybe some qualities of a leader or anything else are missing in the
draft definition or you can check if the definition applies to all
cultural, linguistic, community or other contexts of the movement and share
your thoughts with us.
Together, let's celebrate the movement's diverse and distinctive
leadership!
Cheers!
