This interactive and engaging training seminar is a masterclass in the most important aspects of management and leadership in the context of a public sector that is facing the challenges of adapting to increasing public expectations and the missions of new governments, while incorporating the potential of new technology for service delivery, and providing for diverse service user needs.

We will look at three key aspects of leadership that will enhance your ability to lead teams in this new context. We will consider how to influence individuals and teams, fostering the spirit of collaborative effort, wherever you and your colleagues are situated. We will address what it means to be a strategic leader. We will explore how you can better lead people through change.
