A brighter future thanks to a new leadership course
Posted on 26/06/09
A brighter future thanks to a new leadership course
Talented managers from 16 public and voluntary sector organisations across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland have joined an 18 month part-time post graduate diploma in Public Leadership and Management from Warwick University's Business School - one of the top five Universities in the UK. They will use the knowledge and skills learnt on the course to enhance the services their agencies deliver to the public. They will also be able to develop and explore the relationships between their respective organisations which could lead to new ways of working together for the benefit of the public.
Assistant Chief Constable Mike Goodwin, lead officer for the Leadership in Partnership course from Leicestershire Constabulary said: This is a great opportunity for managers from the different public sector organisations to develop an understanding of how their organisations contribute to offering the best service to the people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. An example of this would be how working in partnership we can raise public confidence in the police and partners.
We have two Chief Inspectors, a Detective Chief Inspector and the Deputy Head of our Corporate Communications taking part in the diploma. I'm looking forward to the new skills, and ideas that this course will allow them to bring to the Force.
The managers have been drawn from Leicestershire Constabulary, Leicestershire County Council, Leicester City Council, district councils including Blaby, Hinckley and Bosworth, Charnwood, North West Leicestershire, Oadby and Wigston, Harborough, Melton and, Rutland, NHS Leicester City, NHS Leicestershire County and Rutland, Leicestershire Fire and Rescue, Leicestershire Probation Service and Connexions Leicester Shire. Two additional places have been offered to voluntary sector managers free of charge. By working together the public sector bodies concerned have been able to save tax payers money.
Throughout the course the students will build and maintain a Personal Learning Portfolio recording what practical knowledge they have learnt and how they can apply this to the organisations they work for. They will also study six, three day residential modules; each assessed by a 3,000 word essay, the topics include Strategy, Leadership, Networks and Public Value, Managing Complexity, Improving Service Delivery, Engaging with Communities, and Managing Change. And finally they will write an 8,000 word dissertation.
The course, known as the Leadership in Partnership (LP) programme began on Tuesday 9 June. Developed and delivered by Warwick Business School it is believed to be the first of its kind designed specifically for a group of public service professionals from a particular geographic area. As a result it has attracted part funding from the East Midlands Improvement Efficiency Partnership.
