Leadership development is a process through which members develop their skills, abilities, political analysis and consciousness, and involvement with / investment in our organizations. Organizers identify individuals with leadership potential, determine self-interest, identify leadership opportunities in the organization, and encourage and support them through involvement in campaigns and other work of the organization. Leadership development is what follow-up from a 1:1 looks like when you’ve successfully moved a person to action.
Our goal as organizers and leaders is to bring people into the organization, mobilize them, then develop their investment, engagement, and leadership in building the organization. The foundation of that process is through relationship building, as outlined in the training below.
