This recommendation proposes the idea of opening pathways for more diversity in those who lead our Movement. ‘Ensure Equity in Decision-Making’ and ‘Invest in Skills Development’ recommendations provide additional clarity on this. |
Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous devons former, soutenir et fidéliser les leaders actuels au sein Mouvement qui sont représentatifs de leurs communautés locales. Ensuite, nous devons recruter, encourager et développer activement de nouveaux leaders afin d’assurer la diversité et la distribution du pouvoir au niveau des positions clés. Nous devons également encourager chaque communauté à planifier et à répartir les ressources, outils et informations de sorte à encourager et développer les qualités de leadership aux niveaux local et mondial[1].

Wikimedia leaders, who bring innovative ideas and methods into our systems, can be found across all corners of the globe. Fostering their leadership potential should be encouraged, as it is key for building a Movement that represents global diversity. People who are active participants in various regions know what works best in their socio-economic, political, and cultural contexts and are critical to the development of their communities. To date, the Movement has not invested in formal training programs to develop leadership. This causes inequity in accessing leadership positions in the Movement and makes it difficult for individuals from underrepresented groups to occupy key strategic decision-making spaces.[2] New leaders bring a healthy rejuvenation to the Movement, prevent the concentration of power in few hands and burn out, and allow our leadership to become more diverse.[3] |

To invest in and foster the future leadership of the Movement, we recommend an approach based on several actions and requirements. The development of distributed leadership must occur in contexts where stakeholders are responsible for determining the resources and tools needed, as well as for sharing and transferring knowledge and experience within the Movement. Utilizing the principle of subsidiarity, we can forge a diverse network of leaders ready to face both local and global challenges in the Movement. As communities grow more complex, roles and responsibilities emerge, and a leadership development plan becomes necessary. A plan ensures there are pathways for future leaders and proposes methods to identify and promote new generations of leaders. It aims at creating a perspective that fits that particular community, encouraging its self-governance and ensuring self-determination. A leadership development plan should include an outline of roles as well as clarifying term limits and pathways for developing skills and experiences to serve their community and the Movement at large. Fostering leadership also requires planning resources and bringing in new people that have skills, backgrounds, and experiences that are currently lacking in a particular context. The plan requires encompassing all the types of leadership support such as mentoring, peer-to-peer development, training events, tutorials on a knowledge management platform, etc.[4] As an additional measure that could work in specific contexts, we envision the incorporation of coaches or trusted advisors, a new concept within the Wikimedia Movement. These would be independent contractors or Movement staff who would assist leaders across communities in identifying their needs and in finding proper ways to address them.[5] They are ideally from within (or have the trust to consult with people from within) the various communities and have an expertise that will assist in obtaining more contextualized development of and participation by community members.[6] Leadership plans must set methods of ways to bring more diverse types of leadership and propose practical ways of ensuring our Movement’s leaders in all areas represent the diversity of the world’s population. Communities need to be able to receive adequate support and help from well-established structures if they wish to create such a plan, as well as with proper execution of its stipulations.[7] |
- Évaluer les compétences de leadership nécessaires et créer un plan de développement du leadership systématique et coordonné au niveau mondial pour autonomiser et enrichir nos communautés à travers tout le Mouvement[8].
- Offrir des possibilités de formation au niveau local pour permettre aux personnes d’acquérir des compétences de leadership utiles à leurs communautés[9].
- Faire émerger un réseau de leaders du Mouvement qui reflètent la diversité à laquelle nous aspirons. Les personnes issues de groupes auparavant sous-représentés doivent être activement recherchées, encouragées, écoutées et soutenues pour leur permettre d’accéder à des positions clés[10].
- Développer une plateforme de gestion des connaissances pour l’ensemble du Mouvement, afin de faciliter le transfert du savoir concernant le leadership au niveau mondial et local[11].
