“Achieving systemic transformation in the social change sector requires a paradigm shift in how people think about leadership and support leaders. Creating the conditions for more time and space, more reflection and integration, and yes, participation in comprehensive restoration experiences, is imperative. These foundational approaches can shift us out of scarcity and control and into the generosity and abundance that we desire for all communities.” Founder and Co-Executive Director of New Seneca Village, Ain Bailey, MPA, writes for Nonprofit Quarterly about the essential need for leaders, particularly BIPOC nonprofit leaders, to practice rest and reflection. https://lnkd.in/gt63kMag
