Transcription

1 The 2015 Australian Local Government Leadership Summit Exploring Local Government Leadership Excellence Melbourne Thursday 29th & Friday 30th October MAIA, Docklands, Melbourne Informed by local government leaders in collaboration with The Australian Excellence in Local Government Leadership Initiative (AELGLI). The Australian Local Government Leadership Summit is the largest gathering of senior Local Government leaders and managers. The 2015 Summit will explore the key competencies and behaviours required for leadership excellence in the coming years. Drawing Local Government leaders from all parts of Australia and abroad, the Summit is shaped by the generous involvement of Local Government leaders and senior managers. Whilst the Summit is primarily structured for leadership performance enhancement, it is also an important opportunity for Local Government leaders to connect and establish purposeful friendships and alliances.

2 SUMMIT OVERVIEW The 2015 Australian Local Government Leadership Summit will explore the concept of leadership excellence in an individual and organisational context. The Summit will examine the behaviours that underpin leadership excellence and the implications of those behaviours on departmental and organisational success in the local government setting. Emphasis will be placed upon evidence based leadership strategy, and discussion will be built around real local government leadership situations with a strong focus on proactive collaboration with peers and other councils. Keynote presentations from speakers will provide insights into proven and innovative approaches of leaders that are thriving in the local government arena. Additionally, local government leaders will discuss their own leadership development strategies that have enabled marked elevations in the performance and engagement of entire management teams. World class leadership educators from the Australian School of Applied Management (ASAM) have been engaged to run dynamic sessions designed to unlock and hone adaptive leadership through self-direction, awareness and agile decision making. In a clear mandate from the Summit Organising Committee, priority will be placed on strengthening inter-council networks. The Summit will provide ample opportunity for individuals to forge friendships and alliances with like-minded peers Australia wide. THE 2015 AUSTRALIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
