19-20 September 2024
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, London
We’ve noticed a trend. Across local government, the most senior officers are asking the profoundest questions about their approach to leadership. Facing unyielding pressure to meet growing challenges with ever shrinking resources, an increasing number are recognising that conventional models of public sector leadership are hitting roadblocks. The time has come for a radical rethink.
Take your place among some of the most forward-thinking senior officers in local government. Together we’ll spend 24 hours unpacking how our roles as leaders need to flex for the challenges of today.
Over the course of this exclusive residential event, held under the Chatham House Rule, we will together consider how public sector leaders can:
- develop personal and organisational resilience
- shift your own and your colleagues’ practice to be relevant for whole systems working
- work with colleagues to mobilise the assets and energy in communities in ways that augment limited organisational resources
- combine compassion and kindness with clarity and certainty, even when the pressures are as intense as they are
- work together to further develop and implement a new approach to leadership.
Created collaboratively, the programme will be facilitated by New Local and TPXimpact. The NeuroLeadership Institute will provide insights on the brain science of leading through change, and we’ll be joined by visionary futurologist and activist, Adah Parris.
Come away with:
- insight into your own leadership and what public sector leadership must become in an age of pressure and crisis
- a clear sense of where you and your organisation are on the journey towards a new model of leadership
- practical steps you and your organisation can take to make a new model of leadership a reality
- a network of other senior officers looking to rethink what leadership means to them
