Co-Leadership: 1-Year In
A Multi-racial Co-led Organization’s Guide to Sharing Power
INSIGHTS
Common Future Co-CEOs share their resources for co-leadership.
For over twenty years, Common Future has led the charge in advancing racial equity and fostering a more equitable economy. We recognize the urgent need to reimagine leadership in a world increasingly shaped by global crises, deepening political divides, and entrenched inequalities.
In line with this commitment, on June 15, 2023, Common Future officially adopted a groundbreaking approach to leadership: the introduction of Jess Yupanqui Feingold, Sandhya Nakhasi, and Jennifer Njuguna as the Common Future Co-CEOs.
Sharing power is not the norm; it requires training, unlearning, and a willingness to explore what co-leadership means in practice. This toolkit is designed to demystify misconceptions about co-leadership and provide insights into our particular approach. We aim to lower the barriers for others interested in exploring this transformative model. Many of you have asked us how we accomplished this—here, we share our journey and insights.
