PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The LGPro Executive Leadership Program (XLP) is designed exclusively to equip and support executives in Local Government, including Chief Executive Officers, Directors, Senior Managers and aspiring CEOs.

One of the most challenging career transitions in Local Government is moving from an operational focus to one requiring a strategic whole-of-council approach to leading and managing the full obligations of a Council.

While the role of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in Local Government is challenging, it is also highly rewarding for those who have the right mix of skills, experience, training and preparedness to lead in this uniquely diverse and dynamic environment. But this can sometimes be a difficult and daunting pursuit especially for executives recently appointed or for those who are new to the Local Government sector.

Developed for and by senior executives, the LGPro XLP is unique in addressing the particular nature and challenges of leadership in Local Government. The program presents an invaluable opportunity for professionals to expand and develop skills and knowledge so that as leaders of the Local Government sector, they are confident and capable.

LGPro 2009 CEO Development Survey

The LGPro Executive Leadership Program is informed by the results of LGPro’s 2009 CEO Development which involved an independent research organisation examining the behaviours and attitudes of current and former Local Government CEOs and potential CEOs (as identified by the current Chief Executive). This was undertaken with a view to determining the skills, traits, knowledge and experience required to be a successful Local Government CEO and to assess the human resources that are currently available, and will be available, to lead the sector over the next decade.
