Local government leaders are navigating increasing complexity, competing priorities, stakeholder expectations, political pressures, resource constraints and constant change.
Yet leaders don't all experience these challenges in the same way. Join us for an XLP Alumni Workshop exploring leadership mindset and how it shapes the way we experience pressure, challenge and uncertainty.
This year's XLP Alumni Session explores a powerful question:
What shapes our capacity to lead when the demands of leadership continue to grow?
Prior to the session, participants will complete the Leadership Mindset Indicator, a research-based assessment that examines the assumptions and perspectives through which leaders interpret themselves, others and the situations they encounter.
The Leadership Mindset Indicator offers a valuable lens for understanding why different leaders can experience the same challenge in remarkably different ways.
Together, we will explore:
- How leadership mindset shapes the way we experience pressure, challenge and uncertainty
- Why some situations energise us while others leave us depleted
- The relationship between mindset and our capacity to respond effectively to increasing leadership demands
- How our leadership mindset may have evolved since completing XLP
- Practical insights for growing and sustaining our capacity to lead over time.
This is not a session about resilience tips, wellbeing strategies or self-care techniques. It is an opportunity to step back and explore a deeper question:
How does the way we make sense of the world influence our ability to remain effective, engaged and capable as leaders?
Whether you completed XLP recently or many years ago, this session offers a fresh perspective on leadership, growth and the ongoing challenge of sustaining our capacity to lead in demanding environments.
Join fellow XLP alumni for reflection, insight and conversation as we explore what it takes to continue leading well in an increasingly demanding world.
