Leading to Choices: A Leadership Training Handbook for Women By Mahnaz Afkhami, Ann Eisenberg, and Haleh Vaziri In consultation with Suheir Azzouni, Ayesha Imam, Amina Lemrini, and Rabea Naciri
NOW AVAILABLE IN ARABIC-MAGHREBY,
ENGLISH, AND FRENCH
Leading to Choices, developed by
the Womens Learning Partnership for Rights, Development, and Peace (WLP)
in collaboration with its partner organizations in the Global South,
is based on a conceptualization of leadership as horizontal,
inclusive, and participatory. This alternative leadership model
presented in the handbook responds to the need for leaders who
aspire to create egalitarian, democratic, and pluralistic societies
based on collaborative decision-making, coalition-building, and
gender equality.
Leading to Choices features a contextual chapter, twelve interactive workshop sessions, and an appendix containing culture-specific scenarios relevant to the cultivation of effective leadership skills. The workshop sessions, based on real stories of individuals and organizations, progress from strategies for enhancing personal leadership potential and communication skills to collaboratively creating and strengthening learning organizations and societies that promote a participatory and dialogical leadership style. The handbook's flexible curriculum may be adapted and customized to suit the diverse cultural, political, and socio-economic needs of women and men around the world. Leading to Choices is currently being used in women's leadership training workshops in Afghanistan, Cameroon, India, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Tanzania, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Zimbabwe. The Arabic-Maghreby and French editions of the handbook were tested and adapted by LAssociation D魯cratique des Femmes du Maroc, WLP's partner organization in Morocco. Culture-specific editions of Leading to Choices in Arabic-Shamy, Hausa, Persian, Russian, and Uzbek are currently being reviewed and will be published in the near future.
