Why employers Invest

Why invest in Queensland Leadership?

Queensland Leadership is an opportunity to invest in the people in your organisation who are dealing with the toughest issues you confront.

Taking the participants into real-life challenging environments that reflect the complex issues facing Queensland organisations enables them to explore the dynamics and complexities that characterise the work of leadership in today’s interconnected world.

Queensland Leadership develops leaders who can recognise and respond to unforeseen problems and who can foster other people’s ability to adapt to change; leaders with the skills to help evolve new, non-habitual ways of responding to ever-changing challenges, ways which offer better outcomes for all stakeholders.

Graduates of the program report significant positive changes in the way they exercise and foster leadership in the workplace.

A Queensland Leadership graduate will have:

  • greater awareness of their own behavioural patterns, how they impact their organisational systems and the capacity to adapt them appropriately
  • much greater flexibility in using a range of leadership roles demanded by differing circumstances
  • the ability to effectively manage conflicts to promote organisational and system transformations
  • the ability to generate breakthroughs in thinking to resolve stubborn, complex organisational dilemmas
  • the ability to get others to take up leadership roles so that the challenge of organisational transformation is taken up at many levels
  • improved relationship management, including partnering and collaboration with diverse stakeholders and across sectors
  • a strong cross-sector network of valuable contacts.

Many major corporations and government departments sponsor employees through SLA's programs each year because of the positive differences they see in the way those individuals perform and lead.

These shifts are often evident from very early on in the program.
