What is the Hampshire Own Grown Future Leaders Programme?

The Future Leaders programme is designed to develop participants as defined in Summary role profile and person specification.

What Does It Lead To?

So what will the programme lead to and how will it assist in my development?

The programme is not a fast track initiative or a promise of promotion and it doesn’t entitle the participant to a salary increase.

What it will do is:

Direction
  • Increase participants skills, knowledge and confidence with Management and Leadership
  • Increase understanding of Emotional Intelligence and the benefits to using it in all aspects of life and withing the work environment (negotiating, influencing colleagues, peers and senior, conflict management and effective communication).
  • Develop within the participant, a deeper understanding of local government, the roles of  Members/ Councillors, challenges within the current political system, effective working as an Officer/Member.
  • Demonstrate the benefits of Business Transformation – assist in planning and thinking process, so as to trandform teams and services and support staff to deliver services effectively and effeciently.
  • Ensure every participant receives recognition – they will have been identified via the nomination process as an individual with potential within their department.  Hampshire Own Grown will give the opportunity to further raise people within the organisation by way of projects, assignments, speakers, networking and mentoring.
