OPERATIONAL LEADERS ARE THE MOST POWERFUL LEVER IN PUBLIC SECTOR ORGANISATIONS TO TRANSLATE STRATEGY INTO ACTION THAT DELIVERS REAL OUTCOMES FOR CITIZENS
The public sector continues to change and all leaders must evolve to thrive.
This requires a team of skilled operational leaders that can inspire their people as they drive change and innovation across the public sector.
The challenge is that all chiefs need spend more time on growth and strategy. But they are being drawn more than ever into stakeholder, operational and people issues...
Why? Most technical professionals are promoted into leadership roles without the necessary tools and frameworks to build personal excellence and lead high performing teams.
Without this critical development they end up spending their time running from meeting to meeting, sending emails, playing politics and working on low value projects.
This is costing everyone critical time and energy that should be focused on the most important strategic initiatives in that will deliver the most value for citizens and other stakeholders.
So...
The Mini MBA in Public Sector Leadership teaches leaders our two most powerful strategy and team building frameworks. In 12 weeks, leaders will learn how to coach employees, align the tactical and operational delivery to strategy, give and receive feedback, develop talent and implement innovative ideas.
Craig Murphy,
Chief HR Officer, Henley Homes
"I coach and mentor many emerging leaders who have impressive technical backgrounds. Generally their leadership development has not been particularly structured and certainly nothing that has the ‘stickiness’ of The GREAT Method. Greg’s GREAT Method is as honest as it is practical. Have a plan, build effective habits, build a network, enhance your value proposition and build a strong history of performance."
Hetty Johnston, OAM,
CEO and Executive Chair, Bravehearts
"A role like mine is, many times, exhausting, conflicting, confusing and huge. Greg helps me cut through the maze, to see more clearly in the middle of so many issues, what is important and where my focus must lay. He is an integral part of helping Bravehearts make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child. I cannot speak too highly of his capacity to cut through the forest of issues and find the tree of hope."
Angela Tsoukatos,
20 Years on the Executive Team at Sydney Water
Drawing on his extensive expertise in leadership development, engagement, wellbeing & high performance coaching, Greg designed forums which created the space for leaders to inspire, direct & engage. Each Forum had the right amount of pace, content & opportunities for engagement & collaboration.
