Leadership 20:20 Commission report published
27 January 2012
Civil Society in the UK faces an enormous challenge over the next decade: the impact of a turbulent economy and changes in public spending priorities will have a significant impact upon the poorest and most disadvantaged in society. Now is the time to consolidate clear pathways into Civil Society leadership and to ensure the diversity of the voluntary sector is reflected among current and emerging leaders.
The Leadership 20:20 Commission report, supported by NCVO, outlines five recommendations
1. Redressing inequalities in Civil Society leadership through opening up effective pathways
2. A strengthening of foresight efforts within the sector through brining together networks of emerging leaders
3. A sector-wide Development Framework
4. A policy change from funders and commissioners to include management and leadership development components in funding agreements and/or monitoring, to ensure future success and sustainability
5. Encouraging mobility of leaders across sectors
