DESCRIPTION
This webinar explores the idea that leaders can be rejuvenated and inspired and great collaborations sparked by the same thing – social capital. · After years of leading social-sector organizations in an environment where competition is more the norm than collaboration, many gifted leaders are near burnout, unable to maximize their individual or collective gifts. Since 2005, the Barr Fellowship has been changing that in Boston – through an investment in personal growth and connections among social change leaders. Recently profiled in the Foundation Review (and before that, in a Stanford Social Innovation Review Case study in May, 2012), the Barr Fellowship is proving to be a powerful force for transformation of individual leaders, their organizations, and their city.

Fellowship Evaluation Learning Questions
39
Early Years (2005-2007) Later Years (2008-2012)
Fellows Are fellows staying longer with their organizations and in
the sector? Are fellows renewed and more satisfied with their role?
Organizations Do interim directors have the supports they need to
succeed in the leaders’ absence? Do organizations distribute leadership and develop
emerging leaders? Do staff and board members become less reliant on the
executive director? Do organizations develop leadership transition plans?
Network Is the fellowship cohort becoming more connected?
Fellows Do Fellows demonstrate vision and commitment to the
whole community? Do they take new risks, cross boundaries, and innovate?
Organizations Are organizations increasing capacity to work together to
create more community benefit?
Network Are fellows across cohorts forming authentic and honest
relationships with each other? Is there more cross-cohort sharing of ideas, advice-
seeking, personal support, and collaboration leading to innovative and breakthrough projects?
Are fellows bridging across sectors and neighborhoods?
Global Are fellows developing a global mindset and applying that
perspective to Boston -- an immigrant city?
