Overview
Being a middle leader in the public sector is more challenging than ever. Executive Level 1 (EL1) and Executive Level 2 (EL2) leaders (and their state government equivalents) wear many hats from day-to-day team operations to strategic planning to inspiring your team. Plus, there is the added complexity of leading through ambiguity and the constant state of change that is the norm today.
While most leadership programs address time management, motivation, negotiation, and difficult conversations – not many address these topics in the context of strategic planning and change. Here is where this workshop comes in, having been designed specifically for new and experienced middle leaders. It strikes a balance between steering the strategic direction of a team and navigating the intricacies of day-to-day management, a skillset essential for today’s dynamic workplace landscape.
Recognising the multifaceted role of EL1 and EL2 leaders, the workshop begins by honing in on vision, values, and purpose. Participants delve into defining and articulating their organisation’s overarching mission, instilling a sense of purpose that guides team alignment. This foundational understanding serves as a compass for leaders tasked with driving both strategic initiatives and operational effectiveness.
