Leading with Purpose
Run for organisations by arrangement
For public purpose leaders who wish to advance their skills and capabilities. This program will give participants access to insights from experienced leaders via a collaborative, supportive and practical delivery model.
Delivery Approach
There are two levels of participation - Standard and Gold Standard.
Standard participation requires a two-day intensive workshop participation.
​
Gold standard also includes a deep dive into participant's leadership style and reputations. Using an empirical data-driven tool, participants will receive a report and a 1:1 coaching session on how different government audiences (Ministers, peers, teams) perceive your leadership approach. This will include strategies to maximise strengths and manage risk areas.

Day 1: Delivering Public Purpose
Day one will provide a framework for leaders to understand their role in the public purpose sector and define how they can best succeed as leaders. The program will enable participants to connect with colleagues while engaging with experts in the field of public purpose leadership, including a First Nations perspective.
The day will focus on advice from experts on how to apply tested strategies to maximise leadership success, including considering the role of allies and champions, influencers and decision-makers.
Day 2: Leading with Political Nous
​
A former Minister and Chief of Staff will take participants behind the curtain of political drivers to provide insights into how to influentially and successfully navigate relationships with Ministers and their offices. This will include consideration of the role of the media in public policy.
​
These sessions will be conducted with openness and candour so that participants leave with a greater understanding of the nuance and importance of political nous and the role it can play in being a successful public purpose leader.
Both days will be a mix of presentations, panel discussions and interactive Q&A sessions.
