LEADING LOCAL GOVERNMENT – Executive Management in Queensland Local Government provides local government professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the role of the Chief Executive Officer in Queensland local government.  The programme has been written by experienced CEOs and senior managers from Queensland local government and goes beyond the legislation to explore the real challenges and experiences you might expect to face in a CEO role.

As a participant on this programme, you will gain full awareness of the role and responsibilities of Chief Executive Officers in local government; the challenges, the benefits, the satisfactions and the frustrations.  You will have the opportunity to troubleshoot questions arising from your own experience and to seek feedback on specific issues you may have faced.
