Bob would be interested in joining the Advisory Group for Mid-Scotland. Please can you send further details? Many thanks, Bryonie Hammick PA - Chief Executive's Office >>> Connie Young 25/11/2009 22:26 >>> Bob hello, really nice to meet you on Monday – thanks for your time and the interesting and stimulating conversation. As promised see attached for the information on our Leadership Masterclass next Wednesday – look at the participant list, it’s a great group of people and would be enhanced by your involvement! I’ll come back to you hopefully next week with comments/suggestions etc re the leadership development strategy paper. Also re Focus – see below for feedback which should be of interest: “I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was a truly mind opening, learning journey which has altered my views and opinions on certain things totally, and made me a more rounded individual. I have a more balanced understanding of problems/ issues/concerns, seeing things from others‟ points of view. I’ve had the chance to meet and learn from people in organisations that I would never come across in normal life/ job. I have a greater understanding of my own leadership style and growing confidence in my ability to lead and effect change - both internally and externally. By working together collaboratively we can achieve a whole load more than we can ever do as individuals or organisations on their own.” - Caroline Stuart, Business Development Director Scotland, Oracle Corporation It would be so good if we could have a participant from among your Heads of Service on the 2010 programme. Any barriers or sticking points we need to overcome? On another matter, I’d like you to consider coming on to our Advisory Group for the Mid Scotland programme area? Trisha will send you the current list of Advisory Group members – you’d be a great addition to the Group and it’s only 4 short (2 hour) meetings per year. I think I said that George Thomson of VDS has also been invited? All the best, Connie Connie Young Director for Scotland & Programme Director Glasgow Common Purpose 120 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 2EN Tel. + 44 (0)141 341 3355 www.commonpurpose.org.uk We are now taking applications for the 2010 Glasgow Metropolitan, Edinburgh & Lothians, Aberdeen City & Shire, and Mid Scotland leadership development courses. Common Purpose deals with real life issues and insights. We go beyond standard leadership models and learn instead from the successes and failures of leaders from all sectors. Participants are taken out of their familiar environment so that they examine, why, when and how they lead. Applications are also being taken for the 2010 Scotland International-Navigator course (runs April to June) - for early career, 'emerging talent' individuals who need to understand more fully about the challenges of change and leadership. Who will benefit by learning from sectors and organisations other than their own, and by early exposure to a diversity of leaders at the top of their fields from across Scotland. Common Purpose gives people the inspiration, skills and connections to become better leaders at work and in society.
