Movement Stool

We created the movement leadership stool to describe the various areas of support that movement leaders identified.

Each leg of the stool represents a need: skills, squads, spaces, and sustainability. We outline below each of the four legs of the movement leadership stool and offer reflection questions. Foundations seeking to invest in movement leadership should identify ways to support leaders in these four areas.

This tool is used to reflect on what an organization and its staff need. It is a starting point to support the people driving the movements needed in today’s world.
