Webinar Overview

In the public sector, the role of the Chief of Staff has never been more critical. As the backbone of effective leadership, the Chief of Staff is the strategic force that enables leaders to excel, steer organisations to success, and navigate the complexities of modern governance and business.
Developing the skills of chiefs of staff enables them to lead initiatives, support executive priorities, and drive organisational change. Their ability to influence and motivate others plays a significant role in achieving desired outcomes and facilitating the successful implementation of strategic plans.

However, becoming a distinct chief of staff is not an innate trait but a skill.

The question then becomes:

  • How can chiefs of staff systematically develop leadership skills?
  • What specific training and development opportunities can chiefs of staff pursue to enhance their strategic leadership capabilities and skills?
  • How can organisations best support their chiefs of staff in building and applying these leadership skills?
  • What are the measurable outcomes of enhanced leadership capacity for chiefs of staff?
  • How can Strategic Leadership Support Officers integrate advanced leadership techniques into their daily responsibilities?
