About the workshop
Ongoing transformation within the NSW State Public Service creates a greater need for effective leadership performance across all levels. 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 better equipped with the appropriate tools and strategies to achieve success. This is particularly true at the Grade 9-10 banded level, which requires strategic awareness and effective engagement with senior leadership.
Aimed at Grade 9-10 level officers and management, this two-day workshop will provide you with an opportunity to advance core skills and explore the emerging leadership capabilities required for effective Grade 9-10 level management. You will explore the core attributes required for successful leadership within the NSW Public Service and delve into practical strategies relating to leading productive teams to perform at a higher level to reach your full leadership potential.
