Innovation Exchange: Adaptive leadership

Register now

Places need new types of leadership, people who increasingly collaborate with staff and communities to tackle today’s biggest challenges. This type of leadership is about starting to shift power to put others in the driving seat. Walking alongside communities, not in front of them.

Councils who have done this see transformational results – not only deeper engagement from staff but communities who work with their councils.

But this is difficult stuff. It seems like there are all too few examples to learn from, and still big unanswered questions about how to effectively be a facilitator of place instead relying on a traditional hierarchy.

This session is exclusively for council officers who are ‘head of’ and above, it will give you a space to share your challenges as well as hear how others have overcome theirs. You’ll leave with a treasure trove of valuable ideas and fresh approaches that work.

Join us to find out:

• How staff in councils are shifting internal culture and embracing new leadership models
• How to effectively lead in a participative and democratic way
• What has worked in other places that you can learn from

Participation in New Local events is free and exclusive to members of our Network. If you would like to find out more, please contact Stephanie.
