Leading Community Organisations

This October LEAD is delivering its Managing and Leading Community Organisations course online commencing on October 15 2021. You will be able to participate from wherever you are in Aotearoa.

Because leading in a community organisation can be complex, this training programme gives you the skills, knowledge and confidence to lead people, projects, and stakeholders, whilst still driving results.

The course will run for twelve weeks with opportunity to continue independent learning until December 30. It will be a mix of:

  • self-directed learning (readings and learning activities you do on your own)

  • peer group discussions every other week to deepen you discussions and learning on specific topics to support and grow your leadership (either online or in person, depending on where you are)

  • large group virtual workshops every alternate fortnight, exploring specific leadership topics in-depth (via Zoom)

  • one-on-one coaching with the facilitators

  • personal written feedback from the facilitators.

Leaders who have taken this course previously tell us the training was incredibly timely, informative and relevant.

Doing the course this way has encouraged deeper relationships with the other participants and gave us time to ponder over things before the next sessions. It has made me reflect on my mahi out in the community and given me some new things to try.
— Janine Maruera, Taranaki participant

The course topics are explored in the context of your community and organisation:

  • Creating and understanding the bigger picture

  • Being a mindful leader and how our management and leadership impacts on others

  • Building a strong team

  • Leading sustainable organisations

  • Working creatively in the face of ongoing change and complexity

  • How to create real change for our communities.
