Leading Kent 2014 - a leadership in place programme
Introduction
This excellent leadership in place training and development
programme is run by the renowned Roffey Park Institute. Public
policy is driving leadership training and development in Kent
towards a new leadership model that promotes collaboration and
joint exploration of issues, with decisions that are built on
solid, evidence-based deliberation.
Place based leadership seeks to overcome the fragmentation of
service delivery by focusing and integrating resources to support
comprehensive community change. This new public service delivery
approach requires a new set of leadership rules and capabilities
that transcend current organisation leadership thinking. This
leadership in place programme will enhance your ability to lead
across boundaries, understanding organisational interdependencies,
culture and systems.
