What kind of leaders should we be? Leadership as facilitation.

What does it mean for leaders to be facilitators, rather than managers?

In this session we’ll be focusing on how leaders can operate as facilitators. What are the benefits, what are the difficulties? We’ll be hearing from Nick Sinclair from the Local Area Coordination Network, who set up the New Social Leaders network. And there will be an opportunity to then share challenges and ideas on how to work in a more facilitative and less directive way.


This event is part of a series exploring this question which cuts across the four behaviours in our model for change: What kind of leaders should we be?

In our meetings in 2021, we started to talk about a new kind of leadership where:

  • We become leaders not because we hold positions of power, but because we give power to others.

  • We deploy the four Better Way behaviours to build connection and community beyond our organisations.

  • We create the conditions for those at the sharp end to take more control.

But how can we counter the existing ‘command and control’ and managerial leadership model and make this new style of leadership more widespread?
