The Honeymoon is over! Pursuing Governance Success
10:00 Wednesday, June 24 to 3:30 Thursday, June 25, 2015
Granville Island Hotel, Vancouver, BC
Success as the Mayor or Chair is not just about being elected but making a leadership difference. Join a timely discussion with colleagues eight months after the election on how to enhance organizational and governance effectiveness. This highly interactive session is only for Mayors and Chairs. It will focus on preventive and remedial alignment of:
- CEO and elected official roles for the ‘real time’ day-to-day activities
- Decision making steps that provide mutual Council/staff confidence
- Expectations for individual behaviours and organizational practices
- Strategic Oversight to ensure good government
- Leadership that will leave a legacy in your name
We will explore the legislative/legal aspects, critical leader competencies and best practices for meetings, strategic priorities and political/administrative relations. Participants will leave with a governance checklist and practical tools as well as proactive strategies that maximize effectiveness and reactive tactics when things go wrong.
The session will be guided by:
