THE QUEENSLAND PUBLIC SECTOR YOUNG LEADERS CONFERENCE IS A UNIQUE DEVELOPMENTAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ASPIRING LEADERS AND NEW MANAGERS.

Each year, hundreds of young leaders from Queensland’s public sector gather together for a powerful one day

development program specifically designed for emerging leaders. Offering a critical opportunity to step away

from everyday demands, the conference allows new managers time to reflect and refocus on their individual

challenges and aspirations.

By exploring first-hand the experiences of celebrated leaders at the forefront of their industry the conference

equips young managers with the tools to excel in the modern public sector, whilst assisting them to make peer

group connections vital to career success.

I’m a young leader; how will the conference help me? The conference is designed to equip you with highly practical management tools and techniques and thereby instil the

confidence to lead effectively in any situation. High calibre public sector leaders will share their insights on how you can

achieve more in your role whilst preparing you for both the challenges and the opportunities that accompany an ever-

changing public sector landscape.

LEARN FROM INSPIRATIONAL LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP EXPERTS

IMPROVE YOUR PEOPLE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY

ENHANCE YOUR CONFIDENCE AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS

MAKE FRIENDS AND CONTACTS TO SUPPORT YOUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT

UNDERSTAND HOW TO BE A GREAT LEADER AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TEAM

What are the benefits for my organisation?Leadership development is an important investment for both individuals and their organisations. Over the past eight

years the conference has assisted hundreds of public sector managers to deliver increased value in their roles and

prepared them for future advancement.

Utilising insights and advice from inspirational speakers, conference participants will be better able to manage both their

professional responsibilities and their key stakeholder relationships. Surpassing the mere transmission of theories, the

conference will equip young leaders with the ability to adapt to a demanding work environment, instil the confidence to

step up and provide the vision to guide other employees towards peak performance.

Who Attends?The event is aimed towards ‘emerging’ leaders who are aspiring,

transitioning and developing. ‘Young leaders’ are not defined by age

as such but attendees include a mix of those who are in early-career

leadership/management roles, or more generally those who aspire to

progress in their careers and may currently be in formative, co-ordinator

or team leader positions. The conference will also be suitable for anyone

interested in the future strength of the public sector or any individuals

wanting to improve their own personal work efficiency and brand. It is

also a great workshop for experienced leaders who need to skill up in

certain areas or assist in navigating their leadership journey.

SESSION 1: MANAGING DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS AND ACHIEVING POSITIVE OUTCOMES

9:10 - 9:40

KEYNOTE ADDRESS

He has had a distinguished and successful career at senior levels of the State’s public and private sectors and is currently the Projects Chief Executive for the Queensland Department of State Development with responsibility for the delivery of Queen’s Wharf Brisbane.

09:40 - 10:30

DEVELOPMENT SESSION

Providing fearless and frank advice to CEOs, Ministers, their staff and engaging effectively with a range of stakeholders in order to develop real policy outcomes is never easy. Particularly with the changing media environment, more volatile electorates and well organised interest groups and stakeholders. Having difficult conversations about complex and sensitive policy matters with a range of stakeholders is increasingly a key skill required by young public service leaders.

Developing new policy and programs, changing, reducing or delivering new services, challenging the status quo – all require difficult conversations because change implies winners and losers.

During this session, participants will explore the dynamics involved in having difficult conversations and develop their ability to initiate, manage and respond to these interchanges effectively. David will focus on communicating and having difficult conversations with three key groups – Ministers, political advisors and stakeholder and interest groups – what has worked, what hasn’t and some tips after involvement in a range of policy reforms and major infrastructure projects.

10:30 - 11:00 Morning tea

SESSION 2: TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR CAREER AND YOUR PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION

DEVELOPMENT SESSION

The ability to effectively manage and leverage relationships with people in more senior positions is a critical aspect of functioning effectively in any workplace environment, and is something that many young leaders find challenging. Failure to manage relationships with more senior colleagues effectively can lead to confusion, wasted time and effort and increased stress. But learning how to interact appropriately and build strong alliances with more senior staff can have major advantages in relation to future career advancement and job satisfaction. During this session participants will explore ways to work effectively with a variety of stakeholders and how to handle more challenging or delicate situations.

15:00 - 15:20 Afternoon tea

As leaders, we are constantly striving to maximise our own output and that of our team. We are all challenged by the need to juggle multiple tasks and responsibilities and to do more with less. Staying focused on the bigger picture and knowing how to prioritise, enables us to get the best return on our effort and energy. During this session, participants will explore how to step back from the day to day, be mindful of the big picture and use this knowledge to prioritise their actions appropriately in order to enhance productivity and their own wellbeing.
