Leadership
Embedding ethics in organisational culture
The Nolan principles of public life – honesty, integrity, objectivity, selflessness, openness, accountability and leadership – are the benchmark for ethical behaviour, underpinning codes of conduct across the public sector, including in local government.
Collective leadership in social care
Leadership is often seen as a hierarchy, but I want to move towards a collective approach.
Next generation
The LGA is relaunching its annual challenge to find the sector’s top executive talent.
Local leadership
The LGA is run by its members, for its members. It is a politically led, cross-party membership organisation, representing local authorities across England and Wales.
Leadership talent
The LGA’s Local Government Challenge is looking for the council superstars of the future.
Focus on leadership
The LGA offers seminars and events to help councillors build valuable networks with their peers, including dedicated sessions for women, ethnic minority and younger elected members.
Becoming leaders
Democracy, decision-making and good governance are strengthened when councillors reflect the people they seek to serve and represent.
Designing a dynamic democracy
The source of our freedoms, our approach to fairness, and the way the economy works is all underpinned by a well-functioning democracy.
Showing leadership in uncertain times
It’s been yet another period of rapid developments affecting local government, and I was reminded once again of the phenomenal work that councils have been delivering for months on end, in some of the most uncertain times many of us have ever known.
