The actions you take during your first three months in your new job
will largely determine whether you will succeed or fail
If you fail to build momentum during your transition
you will face an uphill battle from that day forward.
Michael Watkins The First 90 Days
The LGPro Ignite program is a leadership learning path for new supervisors, team leaders and coordinators in Local Government. Launched in 2007, the program has been an outstanding success with over 50 participants from across the state having graduated from the program. The focus of the program is to enable those who have limited experience in managing and leading people to develop the competencies required to be successful and support an effective transition.
The role of a new supervisor, team leader or coordinator is as much about leading people as it is about managing the delivery of a service. While new leaders are often technically competent, many have had limited opportunity to develop the critical skills needed for leading and managing people. The importance of developing these qualities for people in these roles is critical and cannot be underestimated.
In January 2006, a group of learning and development professionals from across Victorian Local Government and LGPro convened to discuss the issue of supporting their organisations leaders make the transition from team members to team leaders. The LGPro Ignite program has been developed in response to the needs identified by the group. The program addresses important key development areas that have been identified by new supervisors, team leaders and coordinators as critical to their progression in Local Government.
The program comprises a series of practical sessions and components including:
A Residential Immersion Experience
A series of workshops designed to teach, support and motivate participants
Two one hour individual coaching sessions to reinforce positive habits on the job
Scenario practice unique to the Local Government environment
Active involvement of participant managers through-out the program
Acquire key skills for managing the performance of teams
Develop self mastery and insight into the challenges faced by team leaders, supervisors and coordinators in Local Government
Refine skills and gain additional support in skill gap areas by working with qualified professional development coaches
Clearly define goals and expectations in direct consultation with one up managers
Improve critical interpersonal skills for engaging and leading people
Encourage new managers to be leaders
The program is designed specifically for those working within Local Government from metropolitan, interface and regional Councils across Victoria. The typical program participant will be in, or is to be appointed to, an entry-level supervisory, team leader, coordinator or management role and have limited experience in managing
