LG Accelerated Leadership is a highly interactive, practical programme designed to allow participants to discuss and debate the qualities and behaviours of great leaders. It focusses on authentic leadership, making a difference in their role, and delivering results for their councils.
Participants enjoy local government focussed content including senior leader speakers who share and discuss their experience as it applies to each topic. It is also expected that participants come willing to discuss issues and challenges they face under the Chatham House Rule.
Taituarā offers the LG Accelerated Leadership Programme as the mid-level of our local government leadership pathway.
Why should you attend?

Who should attend?
The Taituarã LG Accelerated Leadership Programme is aimed at tier 3 and 4 managers and people leaders wanting to excel in their leadership role. This programme aims to develop participants' leadership capabilities, so they can in turn develop others.
How it works
The programme is held on a regional basis and is made up of five modules delivered as one day workshops.
Module 1: A leadership mindset
Module 2: Engaging hearts and minds
Module 3: Relationships, influence and collaboration
Module 4: Customer driven culture
Module 5: Driving change
There are three distinct phases, which are designed to encourage the application of learning:
- Prepare phase - preparation work is sent out to participants 2 weeks prior to each workshop
- Explore phase - one day face to face workshop or virtual workshop split into two sessions
- Apply phase - applying tools, techniques an approaches learned on the job
What our leaders are saying
"Leadership is not black and white, you can't learn it all from a text book - you learn from your own and others' experiences and this programme provides that opportunity."
"I have found this programme extremely beneficial. The facilitator was really engaging, and I really enjoyed her style. I also found value in having the regional group."
