Transforming teams through Feminist Leadership
summary
ActionAid UK applies gave away ownership of country programs and reshaped its board—added a Black female chair and two trustees under 25—to test feminist leadership, codified as a top 10 feminist leadership points used by a data warehouse team. Concrete tactics include pre-meetings for smaller offices, everyone-writing ideas before discussion, and used an app to track speaking by gender (plus a scarf-knitting parity test). Results: Bond governance awards and measurably more inclusive meetings, though funding imbalances still pose power risks.
