Executive Public Sector Leadership Programme

Leadership is a critical component of good public governance. Therefore, prepare to be more self-aware and adept at managing complexity and capitalizing on diverse perspectives with the SCHSBM Executive Education’s Executive Public Sector Leadership Programme. Amidst the intense public scrutiny facing public sector leadership in the global and national landscape, this programme will enable public leaders to unleash their leadership potential. Delegates will explore the leadership skills and traits that make leaders effective in public sector organisations while exploring what it means to lead an effective public organisation. As leadership in the public sector carries the weighty responsibility of safeguarding public interest, delegates will also gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the need for public sector ethics and accountability. Moreover, as public leaders are often responsible for conducting multistakeholder deliberations across global borders, this programme will further delegates’ understanding of effective negotiation through the assessment of advanced negotiation tactics. Furthermore, with the wealth of information and ideas being disseminated across the chain of social media channels, this has made the role of government leadership even more cumbersome. Thus, this programme will also explore the role of the media in government, how to address public concern efficaciously and how to lead in times of crises.
