Leadership Team Collegiality at Bass Coast Shire Council

GPS COLLOQUIUM OUTCOMES AT BASS COAST SHIRE COUNCIL

Bass Coast Shire Council  is located in the south-eastern part of Victoria, approximately 125 kilometres from Melbourne. It covers an area of 866 square kilometres and has a population of approximately 36,000.

Bass Coast Shire Council’s Chief Executive Officer Allan Bawden had observed the need to develop all levels of the organisations leadership. Utilising the Applied Management Colloquium, this included the engagement of the executive, manager and coordinator cohorts.

The power and influence of involving so many staff in one program was transformational. All participants stepped up in their leadership roles in a way that was apparent to all in the organisation. There was a real sense of confidence and an air of optimism that they were better equipped to meet future challenges and make a real difference in the community.

Bass Coast Shire Council utilised the Colloquium to develop leadership skills for all people leaders and improve working relationships across the organisation.
