Local Government – Working with Senior Officers
The local government modernisation programme has impacted significantly upon the work of Senior Officers as key themes for effective local government management reflect renewed emphasis on working with others and a regime of continuous improvement.
Changes to decision making processes, increasing inspection regimes, ever growing community consultation requirements and an emphasis on enhanced partnership working have all impacted upon the role of the Senior Officer within local government. Officers can find themselves called upon to undertake a wide range of roles; from change agent to consolidator; from transformational leader to facilitator.
Many authorities have found external input invaluable developing the role of Senior Officers, at both individual and team level. The right consultancy can help you develop your current leadership capacity, identify your strengths and development needs and enhance organisational management and leadership skills.
