PUBLIC SECTOR LEADERS
2022 LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Leadership development program specifically for federal, state, and local government agencies
​
Working as a leader in the public sector brings great opportunity to make improvements in public policy and local communities, and provides a tremendous sense of satisfaction in making a contribution towards the common good.
​
But leadership in the public sector comes with specific and unique challenges, not commonly found in the private sector:
-
Longer planning and delivery horizons for strategic initiatives
-
Wider array of complex internal and external stakeholders to manage
-
Higher degree of public scrutiny through parliament, the media, and watchdogs
-
Constant need for public accountability and maintenance of public trust
-
Greater difficulty of quantifying impact of effort, resources and programs
-
Different sources of incentives, motivation and inspiration to drive team performance
-
Ever-present political overlay to many decisions
​
For federal, state and local government bodies wanting to support and develop their leaders to deliver more for the community, a leadership development program focussed specifically on the needs of public sector leaders is a great investment.
​
After all, strong and capable public sector leaders need to have the ability to mobilise resources, motivate teams, negotiate diplomatically and withstand public scrutiny and pressure - all to deliver outcomes for their community. That's where a targeted public sector leadership program can help.
The benefits of a targeted public sector leadership program
Working with an experienced public sector leadership coach in a structured program, participants can:
​
-
Understand the unique leadership challenges in public service
-
Uncover their own individual leadership style and preferences
-
Learn how their peers see them
-
Build a personal plan to reach their leadership potential and overcome barriers
-
Get the advice, support and coaching of a public sector leadership expert
-
See strong, visible improvements in their authority, confidence and influence
​
Here's how it works.
​
FIVE STEP LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
​
Online leadership assessments
Participants complete an online survey designed to uncover their hidden behavioural preferences at work. These insights build a personal picture of their unique leadership strengths and weaknesses.
360º Feedback Gathering
A range of managers, peers, direct reports and external stakeholders are chosen to complete an online feedback survey about the participant's leadership behaviours in a public sector context. The participant receives their honest, anonymous feedback about what they do well and where they can improve.
​
Public Sector Leadership Profile Debrief
The results of the online assessment and the 360º feedback are debriefed. An experienced leadership coach helps participants work through their personalised Public Sector Leadership Profile, unpacking and analysing the strongest opportunities for them to make quickest progress. Together we identify clear, practical techniques that they can use to start lifting their performance into peak mode.
​
Leadership Development Plan
Participants receive our leadership development planner, a comprehensive template to help them build a realistic plan to make them an even stronger leader - addressing developmental needs and building on their inherent strengths.
Personal One-on-One Coaching
Over the following weeks, participants have regular coaching sessions with their experienced public sector leadership coach to provide personal support and guidance on the progress of their Leadership Development Plan. Regular coaching keeps participants accountable and gives them access to a rich world of experience and advice, including the tools and techniques being successfully used by other public sector leaders.
