Leadership is complex, especially when the challenges facing communities don’t fit within organisational boundaries. Future Vision gives senior leaders space to connect & explore leadership through a systems lens. Sarah Morgan reflects on the programme:

This week marked the final session of the latest Boosting Middle Leaders programme, which we deliver in collaboration with @LGAcomms. Councillors & officers came together to explore real system challenges, leadership, collaboration & change.

How do you apply leadership learning when it really matters? Rachel Dukes from Leeds City Council shares how a Leadership Centre & @OHID programme shaped the confidence, perspective & new approach she brought into a successful interview for a new role. 👇 https://t.co/NuaNTIPNRw

Fantastic to see both cohorts grow in confidence, perspective and connection throughout the programme. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible & congratulations to all participants.

We’re delighted to celebrate our first 2 cohorts completing the Developing Strategic Leaders programme in the South West & South East. Created through a collaboration between us & @Solace_UK, the programme supports emerging senior leaders to lead confidently in complex systems.

[Leadership Centre @LocalLeadership]

Delighted to see this kind of feedback. Two cohorts of our Developing Strategic Leaders programme, run in collaboration with @Solace_UK, concluded this week across the South East & South West. Great to see such open, thoughtful groups reflecting, challenging & learning together

In this LGC podcast, @MKMRogers (now Associate Director with us) shares what it takes to make strategic authorities work. One principle is focusing on what we have in common to prioritise what will make the biggest difference, soonest. Well worth a listen: https://t.co/uzZQJ5U2PG

Thank you to all our contributors and hosts who shaped honest, stretching conversations. As we look ahead to our next module in Boston, USA, the question stays with us: how do we use power responsibly, relationally and courageously?

[Leadership Centre @LocalLeadership]

Last week our Future Vision participants gathered in Birmingham to explore power, relationships & cultural competence, and to reflect on what it means to be a 21st Century Public Servant. Over 3 days we explored how power operates in systems & how theory translates into practice.

[Leadership Centre @LocalLeadership]

This wasn't traditional training. It was co-designed, applied learning rooted in real place challenges, reaching 500 staff & reshaping how leaders work across boundaries & approach LGR. Get in touch if you'd like to have a conversation to learn more: [email protected]

We explored systems leadership, member and officer relationships, and resilience, with rich and open discussion throughout. Thank you to Shokat Lal, Chief Executive of @sandwellcouncil, for sharing such honest insights into the realities of leading a council.
