SES Band 1 Leadership Development Program - August
A program for adaptive and impactful leaders.
The SES Band 1 Leadership Development program strengthens the leadership capability of experienced senior executives across the broader APS, to effectively deliver on their key accountabilities. Band 1 executives play a critical role in setting the strategic direction of their group, building a positive and high-performing workplace culture, and making significant decisions on individual policies and courses for which they are directly accountable to government. There is also a project component in this program which will actively support the integration of APS reform objectives.
Participants will be supported by a Program Sponsor – a highly regarded senior APS executive to enrich and enhance learning and capability development throughout the program.
