About the workshop
New strategic directions and ongoing transformation has created a greater need for effective leadership within the Queensland Public Service. Public sector leaders are now required to undertake work of a more complex nature, operating in an autonomous and strategic manner. As such, emerging leaders eager to take their career to the next level must be equipped with the appropriate tools and strategies to achieve success. This is particularly true at the AO 7-8 banded level, which increasingly requires greater strategic awareness and effective engagement with senior leadership.
Aimed at AO 7-8 level officers and management, this workshop will provide an opportunity to advance core skills and explore the emerging leadership capabilities required for effective AO 7-8 level management. It will explore the core attributes required for successful leadership within the Queensland Public Service and will delve into the practical strategies relating to leading productive teams, improving decision making, applying strategic management thinking and developing key skills for stakeholder engagement. These areas are of increasing importance for AO 7-8 level leaders to perform at a higher level and to reach their full potential.
This interactive workshop will provide participants with a unique professional development opportunity to enhance and refine a solid leadership toolkit. It is ideal for career-driven individuals who aim to unlock their potential and advance their career within the Queensland Public Service.
