Art of Feminist Leadership

Building a Feminist, Inclusive Future

Feminist change initiatives require leadership approaches that create outcome-oriented and constructive co-creation across diverse stakeholders.

Do you need to shift the mindset of stakeholders toward feminist action, or to find new ways to overcome feminist challenges? Do you want to explore a new leadership concept that goes beyond individual leadership and enlivens yourself and the people you work with? Are you starting a complex cooperation project, or are you in the midst of one you want to improve?

This course module will help implement more outcome-oriented and constructive co-creation on a day-to-day basis for yourself, your team, your organization, and your feminist change initiative with diverse stakeholders. It equips dedicated feminist leaders in public, private, and civil society organizations with a tool for better co-creation. The dimensions of collective feminist practice principles can be learned and enhanced, individually and collectively.

The tool presented in The Art of Feminist Leadership, the Collective Feminist Principles, helps keep feminist projects on track and find the necessary course corrections.
