About us

An engine room for delivering the National Performance Framework.

The SLF offers a space to collectively tackle the critical challenges our communities, our public services and our leaders face, as we seek to progress the ambitions and values of the National Performance Framework.

A new SLF

The SLF was relaunched at our June 2019 National Forum in Stirling. We have a renewed focus on the long-term strategic delivery of the National Performance Framework, Public Service Reform, and Collective Leadership.

With a focus on key issues such as Child Poverty, the Climate Emergency and a commitment to diversity in public services, we believe we can provide a catalyst to test the difference that collective leadership, positive leadership behaviours, and a whole systems approach can make to achieving wider transformation.

Working all year round

Through our national plenary Forums, local based activity, Action Groups and leadership development offers, we are working to enable Scotland’s leaders to make a real and lasting difference to our communities.
