3 Lead

Summary

Leadership is a practice, not a job title. People in paid and volunteer roles lead when they take responsibility, help others contribute, and keep work moving toward the mission. This chapter turns the shared culture into everyday habits.

Sections

• 3.1 Culture in leadership — Give feedback, handle disagreement, take ownership, and model the culture.
• 3.2 Strategic planning — Connect the mission to objectives, metrics, projects, and review.
• 3.3 People — Hold organizer conversations, fit people to roles, and support growth.
• 3.4 Facilitation — Run tactical and governance meetings and follow through in writing.

Staff status is not a prerequisite for leadership. Current priorities and assignments live in Atlas.
