New Deputy Director offer
Deputy Directors’ induction combines the two day Base Camp with a year long series of supporting events.
Base Camp is the first interaction for many Senior Civil Servants with the Leadership Academy. It is designed to support SCS to make one of the most significant transitions within their Civil Service careers, and it is the start of a programme of support to enable them to transition to the grade over their first 12-18 months.
Current dates include:
New Director offer
This transition point will start with an induction event that is similar to the design of the Deputy Director induction, Base Camp, but tailored to Directors’ requirements.
The pilot will be based on findings from interviews with Directors. Interim results suggest:
- strong desire to connect with other Directors and build their networks through arm’s length bodies (ALB’s)
- sessions on working with ministers at a senior level
- public speaking/ story telling
- hearing from senior leaders about their challenges and how they overcame them
- resilience in the workplace and how directors can lead upwards/ downwards in challenging times
When:
3 cohorts per year.
