Peer Leadership Networks
Get Feed- Description
- Peer leadership is the capacity of people who share similar identities, circumstances, or contexts to provide each other with trusted and relevant information, advice, and support when it is needed most. Peer leadership prioritizes listening and problem-solving among leaders in a safe environment where peers can speak openly and honestly with each other, outside the structures of power and authority within which they live and work. In recent years there has been increased investment in developing and supporting peer leadership networks (Backer, 2008). Reasons for this increase include the increasing complexity of problems and challenges that confront leaders, and the loneliness and frustration they often feel shouldering the expectations of others. The best peer leadership programs recognize that leaders have as much to learn from each other as they do from outside experts.
