Inspiring Leadership Program

							                                   Inspiring Leadership Series
No organisation has become great without exceptional leadership. Today, more than ever, the Queensland
Public Sector is leading in an environment of change and challenge. This is why we are bringing together
leaders from government, tertiary institutions and training providers to explore the leadership needs of
today’s sector and identify the new leadership paradigm.

Inspiring Leadership is not just one program – it is a completely new series designed to provide today’s
public sector leaders at all levels with the opportunity to realise their leadership potential, and deliver
outstanding results for the people of Queensland.

The Public Service Commission is proud to be partnering with organisations and public sector leaders of
outstanding reputation to develop the Inspiring Leadership series specifically to meet the needs of the
Queensland Public Sector.

Our three Executive Sponsors for Inspiring Leadership are known for strong and decisive leadership at the
senior executive level across Queensland Government. They are:

   Dave Stewart            Director-General                        Transport and Main Roads
   Debbie Best             Deputy Director-General                 Environment and Resource Management
   Gary Mahon              Assistant Director-General              Community Safety

The Inspiring Leadership Series is developed by the sector, for the sector. The Queensland Leadership
Advisory Team (Q-LAT) is a group of senior leaders drawn from all Agencies across the Sector. They are
working closely with the PSC and our partners to develop the Series.

All Q-LAT members and sponsors are been chosen for their leadership skills and cutting edge ideas to
ensure the Inspiring Leadership Series is relevant, timely and forward focussed. The members of Q-LAT
