LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE

Annual Local Government Conference 2024

The Local Government Conference is scheduled for Tuesday 27 - Thursday 29 August 2024!

Destination: Cairns - Save the dates

Leading from the Front: Leading from Behind

One of the challenges local government leaders face is that our organisations need to be chameleons, constantly shifting approach to meet varied demands.

At times, we are innovators, leading from the front and providing a pathway for our communities that they may not yet have considered or not be fully understanding of. At other times, our role is to sit back and allow community to step up and lead themselves, perhaps with some facilitation or enabling actions at our end.

As with all leaders, it is easy to get stuck in one role, creating a culture, approach and mindset that matches the chosen leadership model.

The 2024 Local Government Conference will explore the two approaches and consider what to use when and how to adapt local government leadership to meet both the immediate- and long-term needs of your community.

Join colleagues from across Queensland as we explore what leadership in local government looks like, learning from experienced and new local government officers, academics and thought leaders.
