Leadership for the Real World

Why would you send your best people into a public housing estate … or a remote Aboriginal community … or a prison to learn about leadership? That’s what we did with more than 200 leaders from Government, NGOs and Top 500 companies in 2010 alone. And this is the sort of thing they had to say about it:

“Extraordinary …a once in a lifetime experience … the most challenging and most valuable development experience I’ve had in my career.”
—Simon Terry,  General Manager, NAB
“Without a doubt the best post-graduate program that I’ve ever attended. I got enormous value out of my MBA but this was much deeper learning.” 
—Rod Douglas, CEO, SuccesSystems

I’m writing to invite you to come along to one of our forthcoming information sessions about the Queensland Leadership program and discover how Social Leadership Australia’s unique approach to learning is delivering some of the most powerful leadership development programs in Australia.

Queensland Leadership is our flagship leadership development program in Queensland. Each year it brings together a cohort of up to thirty high-talent, big-thinking individuals from across the business, government and not-for-profit sectors to learn what it means to exercise real leadership—leadership that works beyond the limitations of formal authority, leadership that helps create new, lasting solutions to entrenched problems.

If you are working with increasing complexity and change; if the toughest issue you face is actually beyond your four walls; if the projects you are driving require cultural shifts or changes to values and behavioural norms, then this may be one of the best professional development opportunities you have come across.

At the heart of Queensland Leadership is the Adaptive Leadership model developed by Ronald Heifetz and his colleagues at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. 

Having worked almost exclusively with this model in all our programs since 2002, we at Social Leadership Australia are some of Australia’s foremost Adaptive Leadership practitioners. But we take this model to a new level by bringing the learning into the community, because we believe leaders need to see the real world, not the inside of a classroom.

A comprehensive information booklet about Queensland Leadership is available on our website: www.benevolent.org.au/leadership
