#ThoughtLeadership is more than having an opinion on something; it's about strengthening individual reputation, crafting personal branding and building a network based on trust. Thank you RHTLaw Asia LLP Of Counsel Alexander Joseph Woon for taking the time to speak with our young associates on the importance of beginning the thought leadership journey early.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should consider serving as a Micro Mentor. To sign up & learn more, check out this link:

As the world yearns for change, alternative leadership models emerge as beacons of hope. Challenging conventional notions of power and hierarchy, they embrace collaboration, empathy, and shared decision-making. Inspired by our own shift into co-leadership, we embark on a journey to explore diverse alternative leadership models and their potential impact on liberation and the food justice movement. Today, we dive into the world of cooperatives. Cooperatives are businesses that are owned, operated, and democratically-controlled by their members. This alternative leadership model has a rich history of building community resources and nurturing strong communities. Want to learn more about cooperatives, check out these resources below: Book - Collective Courage by Jessica Gordon Nembhard Federation of Southern Cooperatives - www.federation.coop Fannie Lou Hamer’s Freedom Farm Cooperative - https://lnkd.in/ebFs-HPg Brief history of Black Cooperatives - https://lnkd.in/eHPEUZnw The Black Panther Party Ten Point Program - https://lnkd.in/e_SUYHY primary-documents-african-american-history/ black-panther-party-ten-point-program-1966 Stay tuned for more insights on how other alternative leadership models can impact the food system and beyond.

Building a Diverse and Inclusive Leadership Team through Management Control At our organization, we recognize that true transformation extends beyond numerical targets; it requires a fundamental shift in mindset and a commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive leadership team. Through the Management Control pillar of B-BBEE, we actively promote the representation of black individuals at various management levels, ensuring that diverse perspectives and experiences are reflected in our decision-making processes. By embracing diversity in our leadership ranks, we tap into a wealth of talent, drive innovation, and cultivate an organizational culture that values different viewpoints. This approach not only aligns with our B-BBEE goals but also enhances our competitiveness and ability to better serve our diverse customer base. We believe that true transformation starts at the top, and we are committed to nurturing and empowering leaders from historically disadvantaged groups through targeted development programs, such as our GRAP (Graduate Recruitment and Advancement Program) Training. Together, we can create a more representative and inclusive business landscape that unlocks the full potential of South Africa's human capital.

Looking forward to moderating this all-star panel on #climate and #environmental advocacy, featuring Katie Robinson, Jacqueline Patterson, Susan Hendershot, and Ariana Gonzalez and exploring this important topic together! The #BuildingTogether leadership experience from the Council on Foundations is timely, to say the least. In my own environmental advocacy before joining the foundation world, a regret is not fully appreciating the power of authentic, principled coalitions. Sure, I worked in coalition. But primarily with other organizations that closely shared the same policy goals. Our differences sometimes seemed large, but they were, in context, minute. On so many issues today, generating the influence to overcome powerful opponents requires more than working effectively with those with whom you already share affinity. It also demands figuring out how to expand the circle of affinity. Exploring common goals that exist. Forging, sometimes painfully, the actual relationships that can drive more influential and powerful responses to climate change, water pollution--and much more. This isn't just a "good" thing to do, its a strategic way to win.
