About the workshop
Due to new strategic directions and ongoing transformation in the New Zealand Public Service, there is now an enhanced focus on effective leadership performance across all levels. Public Sector leaders must undertake work of a more complex nature, operating in an autonomous and strategic manner. Emerging leaders eager to take their careers to the next level must be equipped with the appropriate tools and strategies to achieve success. This is particularly important for managers, team leaders, senior advisors and similar roles, which increasingly require greater strategic awareness and effective engagement with senior leadership.
With an increased push for leadership excellence and competency by the State Service Commission, many emerging leaders lack the key leadership skills they need to perform in the Public Sector. Designed for Tier 4, 5 & 6 professionals, this intensive two-day event will explore the core attributes required for successful leadership within the New Zealand Government. It will deliver practical strategies for leading productive teams, improving decision making, applying strategic management thinking and developing key skills of stakeholder engagement and communication. These are increasingly becoming key competencies for Tier 4, 5 & 6 level leaders to perform at a higher level and to reach their full leadership potential.
Directly addressing the New Zealand Public Sector’s new leadership development guidelines, this workshop is designed to give aspiring and emerging leaders the opportunity to establish a successful leadership profile. Ideal for career driven individuals, this two-day intensive will provide the foundation to unlock potential as a leader, now and for the future.
