Staff from the Communities and Place Service have been recognised in successfully completing an intensive Leadership Development Programme.
As part of the Service’s commitment to continually identify talent, and develop leaders for the future, a Leadership Development Programme was designed for the Communities and Place Service and delivered by BlueSky Experiences.
The programme covered a range of leadership skills including Personal Effectiveness, Leading Effective Teams and delivering Change, and Performance Management.

“I was interested to hear their reflections of their learning.
“Staff feedback was very positive on the quality and effectiveness of the course and would like to thank all involved for making this such a success.
“I wish them all the best for the future and look forward to the programme running again to support the Council’s Workforce Planning strategy.
James England, Chief Executive, BlueSky Experiences added:
