Managerial leadership

It takes ambitious leadership to inspire local communities and create a better future for the people and places we represent. The next generation of local government will be leading through unprecedented times. Now more than ever, we need to ensure our members and officers are equipped with the right skills and support to tackle the challenges of tomorrow and to reinvigorate local leadership.

We are committed to supporting current and future leaders, ensuring councillors and officers have the right skills and support to help build vibrant and successful communities. Our programmes offer high class political and managerial leadership opportunities, enhancing talent and confidence fit for 21st century leadership and enabling local government to rise to future challenges.

The LGA runs a number of leadership development programmes for local government managers including:

• the Academy for Executive Leadership
• Empowering Leadership Programme
• National Graduate Development Programme.
