Why Council Culture Starts With Councillors
September 10 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
An ALGWA Masterclass hosted by Vice President ALGWA Cr Karen Wheatland with Fabian Dattner
Council culture is often seen as an organisational issue. Yet culture starts long before it reaches staff.
The way councillors lead, communicate, disagree and work together sends a powerful message throughout the entire council. It influences trust, relationships, decision-making, organisational performance and ultimately, community confidence.
This report captures the key insights from an ALGWA Masterclass hosted by Vice President ALGWA Cr Karen Wheatland and facilitated by Fabian Dattner. Drawing on decades of experience working with leaders across government, business and the public sector, Fabian explores the critical role councillors play in shaping culture and why leadership development is one of the most important investments a council can make.
