Tomorrow sees the launch of a transformational leadership programme in Leeds.
The Transform Leeds Leadership Programme is taking a radical approach to improving third sector leadership and partnership practices. We want to develop individuals leading third sector organisations to work strategically with public and private sector partners to tackle shared challenges for the City.
It's a big ask. Look beyond your own organisation, and your own sector and develop a shared understanding of what needs to be done in order to tackle the challenges facing communities in Leeds.
This is a new style of leadership, but one which should fit instinctively with the third sector. The challenge is to avoid the distractions; the management of your organisation, the 'politics' of the sector, and instead to remain focused on your mission; improving the lives or the communities you exist to serve.
Our programme will support participants to become more strategic civic leaders and build more effective relationships and partnerships across sectors. The programme will allow participants to direct and fulfill their own personal development needs, focus on key skills such as communications and influencing, and translate this learning into issues based workshops tackling real life issues.
Our vision is to achieve diverse and dynamic leadership in the third sector, which translates the authentic voice of citizens and communities into strategic decision making in Leeds. We are keen to ensure that aspiring as well as current leaders take part, and that we get a mix of backgrounds and experiences.
