Couldn't agree more! I struggle to allow myself the time for care and well-being while building the work and team of @fair_wl. It's one of my biggest #feminist leadership dilemmas: to get the balance right between the work I care deeply about while accepting my own limitations.

[Leila Billing @leilabilling]

There’s nothing ‘fluffy’ about well-being and organisational care. Yes values matter but a political, power lens is so important, too. Leaders can learn a lot from feminist approaches to care 💪🏽

💭Can we redefine leadership, power, and collaboration?

Yes, we can re-define leadership with new approaches to power, collaboration and participation. And #feminist tools have the potential to support this transformation. Join us when we @WomenDev discuss and explore with @NiceLengete. Sign up here: https://t.co/3ZjGTrAK2M

This week's session is especially close to my heart as the hosts have such a high impact on my own #feminist #leadership journey: Together with @anushabharadwaj @SeeRap and @EmilyFBove I have experienced, unpacked and accepted discomfort as a key element of transformation.

[FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders @fair_wl]

This week is all about #discomfort. When is it a barrier, and when does it move you forward?

We're looking forward to exploring this with three members of the FAIR SHARE Action Circle - @SeeRap, @anushabharadwaj and @EmilyFBove - this Thursday!

#ExploreFeministLeadership

Warum muss Führung divers aufgestellt sein? Wie könnte eine neue, feministische Führungskultur in #Stiftungen und #NGOs aussehen? Das versuche ich in meinem Gastbeitrag für @Tagesspiegel zu beschreiben:

Thanks for sharing @wider_sense and for the work you do towards more diverse foundations. How do we convince more philantrophic actors to join the journey?

The elephant in the room: While #genderequity stands at the very top of the #philanthropy agenda, #women leaders are still absent in the top decision making structures of philanthropy. A critical view by @Hel_Wolf for @dafne

This is an elephant & it’s in a room. Read @Hel_Wolf & let’s discuss why #leadership #philanthropy #parity

[Helene Wolf @Hel_Wolf]

@khetsiweglobal @F_Macaulay @fair_wl Dear @khetsiweglobal. Thanks for the elephant picture! I researched the data myself based on the lists of biggest foundations I link in the text. I would like to collect this data more systematically, similar to the @fair_wl Monitor: https://t.co/n9GEsX8kBJ What you think?

As @AliciaGarza says: Perpetuating the same dynamics will create the same dysfunctions. 👏🏼

Or as Audrey Lorde would say: "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House."✊🏼 #FeminstMinds

[Helene Wolf @Hel_Wolf]

Participating in the #GenderEqualityForum reminded me of philanthropy's elephant in the room: As I listened to man after man announcing their plans for #genderequity I could hear her scream. Thanks @DafneHQ for the space to write about it: https://t.co/i2jSEy1T16

[FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders @fair_wl]

Is the revolution for #genderequity announced at the #GenerationEqualityForum supposed to be led by men? @Hel_Wolf unpacks how philanthropy and foundations should walk the talk within their own structures: https://t.co/Asop3wmL3V

[Helene Wolf @Hel_Wolf]

The community @WEIconnect regularly asks women about their experience and vision. I tried to reflect on why women stay silent and what happens when we speak up.

[Women Emerging @WEIconnect]

@Hel_Wolf, Exec-Director of @fair_wl joined #WomenEmerging to talk about why women keep quiet in the work place. Have you ever walked away from a meeting wishing you'd spoken up? We can probably all relate to the feelings that Helene puts so well into words this week.

[Helene Wolf @Hel_Wolf]

One key thing I learned since starting @fair_wl: There is not one, final definition of #Feminist Leadership. Instead, we are challenged to explore how we can implement our #feminist principles in everything we do, every day. Let's do it together: https://t.co/tfWekDRCck

Next to the important demands in the letter @NGO_CSW_NY together with @anushabharadwaj @EmilyFBove @SeeRap we are calling for an innovative, intergenerational co-leadership model. @UN_Women has a key opportunity to lead by example on #feminist leadership: https://t.co/gve1gz9f4K

[Helene Wolf @Hel_Wolf]

Even though the @UN and @UN_Women just hosted #GenerationEquality featuring strong commitments on #feminist leadership, the process for a new ED does not reflect #feminist values of transparency, participation and representation.

[NGO CSW/NY @NGO_CSW_NY]

As the selection process for the next @UN_Women Executive Director continues, members of civil society came together to voice concerns with the process and set out demands for the remainder of the process.

We’re looking to speak to experts who attended both the Beijing Platform in 1995 and #GEF this year as part of a podcast interview opportunity.
Please get in touch if you know of anyone! #ActForEqual

[Helene Wolf @Hel_Wolf]

That is why I and @fair_wl work on #feminist leadership which offers new approaches for everyone, no matter of gender identity or formal titles: https://t.co/PDbLSVZAzP

[Helene Wolf @Hel_Wolf]

I am torn: While I agree that we have to move away from stereotypical attributions about male and female leadership, representation still matters and if we pretend gender does not matter we make women invisible and risk unequal decision-making structures and processes.

[FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders @fair_wl]

What do you think of @jessbillingsley's proposal to drop the term #womenleaders?

“My sex shouldn’t be a qualifier in everything I do. Doing so reaffirms the problematic social and scientific view that 'female' is default and 'male' is a deviation.”
