New Leader of Leaders
The chief executives of the New Zealand Public Service have recognised the need for common and consistent development for all leaders at critical transitions within their career. In response, LDC has designed the New Leader of Leaders Programme specifically for all leaders in the public service who are in the first 12 months of their first leader of leaders role (leading other people managers).
This programme will support leaders to lift their focus and build leadership skills relevant to the New Zealand public service context. Leaders will be stretched beyond pure knowledge acquisition and required to design a series of safe-to-fail leadership experiments based on the theory, frameworks and models covered within the programme.
All the content and support materials to facilitate or host a programme inside an agency are contained in the below.
Release 1.0 content is now available and will be updated by the LDC periodically. Email info@ldc.govt.nz if you are having problems accessing any of the programme materials.
