| We analyse the opportunities that people have to demonstrate social responsibility, develop community engagement and we provide guidance on ensuring that any volunteering integrates learning. An example of a leadership development program that develops competence in social responsibility is outlined below: |
| Connected Communities |
| This collaborative program offers senior leaders the opportunity to further develop their collegiate network as they work together on a shared community project while mentoring emerging leaders. It provides emerging leaders with the opportunity to apply their professional skills in diverse community projects, sharing ideas with their colleagues and learning from senior managers. |
| Benefits to be gained from this program include: |
 |
Opportunity for innovation by looking outside the square |
|
Reflection on the ethical practices and challenges in the different sectors |
|
Development of resilient networks |
|
Development of coaching skills |
|
Project management and project relationship skills |
|
Organisational Research skills |
|
Increased capability to act on Social Corporate Responsibility issues |
| Program Aims |
|
To inspire, develop and renew the energy for leadership |
|
To enable an appreciation of diversity in approach, values and practice |
|
To support reflection and critical review of practice leading towards innovations |
|
To learn with others developing an ongoing collaborative network |
| Overview |
| The sense of community and purpose, developed through leading social innovation, inspires participants to review the ways that they lead and to share their learning. This builds their own competence and capability and that of their organisations and the broader community. |
| A project team within a Community of Purpose has representatives from each sector and an Interdependent facilitator. |
| Time investment per Senior Leader: 5-7 days |
| Time investment per Emerging Leader: 12 days |
| (Requirement of a minimum of 3 senior leaders and 6 young leaders per organisation.) |
