As President &amp; CEO of Oxfam America, Abby Maxman is responsible for leading global social change to alleviate the injustice of poverty across 90 countries. This fight is not a new one for Maxman, who has made a career of giving a voice to the voiceless, fighting hunger, poverty, disease, and injustice across the globe at leading INGO's and within the U.S. Government. Abby and I sat down to discuss her leadership experience and what we can all learn from her time working to right the most devastating wrongs the world over. We tackled some big issues in our discussion, including:The importance of boldly charging toward your goals, even when they might feel overwhelming and unachievable.How the values of integrity and commitment provide the courage and resilience necessary to allow a leader to book the first flight into post-genocidal Rwanda, to tackle apartheid South Africa, and to take on the global HIV/AIDS crisis.The importance of showing up authentically and consistently as our whole selves to build and nurture a healthy culture. Ad the value of creating a safe place for people to try new things, to fail, and to learn from those failures without risk of retribution or career damage. The role of leaders in addressing racial, gender, economic, and climate justice, and the challenging of maintaining focus on this important work in the midst of every other priority.Developing the 21st century skills of leading with care and compassion to help your people feel safe, engaged, and cared for by their leaders.  This episode of The Rainmaker Fundraising Podcast was brought to you by our friends at Virtuous.

Leading Global Social Change with Abby Maxman

What’s all this talk about feminist leadership? An interview with Abby Maxman, Oxfam America’s CEO Feminist leadership seems to be in ascendance in the INGO sector. Now, our sector is a bit prone to fads and fashions --  so should we take this seriously? Is this leadership model here to stay? And what are its potential, its power as well as its limitations? This is what I  explore in a short series of episodes about feminist leadership, which is starting with this interview with Abby Maxman, CEO of Oxfam America.Later in the series, I will interview Aruna Rao, Lisa Veneklaassen, and Joanne Sandler, while plans to interview Srilatha Batliwala are in the works. Quotes “Servant leadership does not always necessarily mean you to lead from behind (although this is often what’s needed); it can sometimes also mean leading from the front” “Feminist leadership needs to be situational and adaptive to be helpful” “You need to be kind of heart but also tough of mind, at the same time” Feminist leadership obviously has the aspiration to contribute towards a gender-just society, both internally inside the organization, and externally. In this podcast series, I focus on how feminist leadership plays out as an organizational leadership model.  According to Abby, feminist leadership among others is about being developmental towards other employees, bringing out the best in others.  And it is about nurturing and seeking out the voices of all staff.Here is LinkedIn 's profile of Abby Maxman Click here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces. Or email Tosca attosca@5oaksconsulting.orgif you want to talk about your social sector organization’s needs, challenges, and opportunities. You can find Tosca’s content by following her on her social media channels:  TwitterLinkedIn Facebook
