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

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.
