Leadership of Place > Member Development

All our experience shows us that successful organisations are based on shared goals and expectations between the managerial and political or non-executive team, and on a clarity of roles and responsibilities.

Our expertise helps bring out the best from those relationships, creating greater understanding of the added value of combined working and of effective scrutiny. We understand the way politics works and our approach varies depending on whether participants are members of councils without overall political control, or from an established majority group or opposition. We are also aware that politicians and board members bring a wealth of experience and knowledge which contributes to development activity. From newly elected councillors and non-executive members to leaders, chairmen or elected mayors, our programmes and approaches can improve political and board leadership, enhance scrutiny skills, build strategic capability and provide tailored appraisal and personal development plans.

We also have a unique new product for local government which starts with a package of highly relevant distance learning material, making it easy for busy people to undertake development and assessment in their own time, and develops into a tailored `total support` package which continues to support councillors as they develop their role in the council and the wider community.
