New Zealand Defence Force Institute for Leadership Development
The New Zealand Defence Force, Institute for Leader Development (ILD) delivers a comprehensive approach to continued leadership development with a focus on helping people leaders who are transitioning to the next level of leadership.
A number of their leadership development programmes are open to participants from the wider public sector and involve outdoor activities designed to challenge leaders.
The Leadership Development Centre takes a system wide approach to maximise Public Service spaces on these programmes by managing the nomination and selection process. Public Service representative spaces are limited.
We balance a range of factors for selection, including individual participant information like role and experience, alongside equitable representation from Public Service agencies both across and within the programmes. A balanced approach provides a rich experience for the participant and a diverse contribution to the cohort.
