Legacy Leadership in Mozambique and Beyond

At Legado, we believe that at the center of all progressive, systemic, and lasting change, are people who are making a personal choice to take conscious actions towards the future they wish to be a part of, as individuals and as a collective. What is that conscious future? It’s what we refer to as legacy, or if you’re speaking Portuguese, legado.

For the past three years we’ve been building our Legacy Leadership culture within our team, with Namuli’s community members, and with our partners. Our goal is to create thriving futures for people and for biodiversity. And we believe this goal is possible when everyone we work with can articulate, believe, and act upon their personal and collective legacies.

What’s Lightyear Leadership?

 Lightyear Leadership is a self-leadership method that helps people cultivate the best in themselves, while transforming their communities. Lightyear places people at the heart of a leadership-rich culture and offers a unifying language, set of values and platform from which to operate and collaborate.

Why Focus on Leadership?

Legacy Leadership is one of Legado’s core programs and is fundamental to community ownership and direction of an effective conservation agreement and a community conservation area
