Systems Leadership is all about amplifying a model of leadership that’s not about managing, but about how to make things happen, across sectors, in a collaborative way. It is designed to help people lead when they don't have positional power, levers to pull, or a large budget to wield.
Over two years Manchester Community Central on behalf of 10GM have hosted a series of open workshops focused on storytelling, community leadership, collaboration and influence. Following on from this, in 2025 we launched a peer support project in Greater Manchester.
This short program focused on giving space to those from the global majority to explore the lack of representation in leadership within the sports and physical activity sector.
We recruited participants and brought the group together at an initial on-boarding meet-up in October, with monthly peer support sessions since. We are now bring the program to a close and we would like to invite you to the end of program event to:
- Hear from participants in a panel discussion
- Network with those working in the sector
- Learn about the positive impact of peer support spaces
- Discuss next steps to help diversify leadership
