The Shared Leadership Model: Building Consensus, Clarity & Accountability Across an Organization [DPP Lunch Analysis]

​Join Barbara Gallen for a thought-provoking and immediately useful session on how shared leadership can transform the way nonprofits make decisions, distribute responsibility, and maintain organizational alignment. As fundraisers and nonprofit leaders face increasing complexity, shared leadership offers a sustainable model built on clarity, inclusivity, and collective ownership.

​This session will help you move beyond traditional top-down structures to a leadership approach that elevates every team member’s voice while strengthening accountability and cohesion.

​This Lunch Analysis will unpack:

​• The Core Principles of Shared Leadership:a
Understand how distributing authority and decision-making power can improve communication, trust, and shared responsibility across teams.

​• Consensus-Building in Practice:
Learn practical ways to create alignment through dialogue, open decision-making, and clear delegation of duties — without slowing down your organization’s momentum.

​• Role Clarity & Transparent Accountability:
Explore tools and frameworks that ensure every team member knows their responsibilities, how their work connects to organizational goals, and how success is measured.

​Don’t miss this opportunity to reimagine leadership within your organization and apply a model that fosters equity, clarity, and stronger organizational performance.
