SLF 10-Year Vision
The SLF is where Scotland’s senior leaders come together with purpose, to connect, to learn and to collaborate. This is a space where we want leaders to make and lead the change that ensures the future sustainability of our public services and improves the wellbeing of Scotland’s people and places. We want to strengthen and improve the SLF offer; we want to learn from those of you already doing this work and we want to hear your views on what’s needed to support leadership skills and practice. We would be grateful if you took a moment to review this short summary of our proposed 10-Year Vision below;
Leadership, Collective Ownership and Delivering the National Outcomes
The SLF action group on Accountability and Incentives has been exploring ways for public service leaders to make it easier to build our contribution to the national outcomes into how we work, so it’s not yet another add-on but simply part of how we run our organisations. That requires the whole accountability system to look through a different lens. In this report, Leadership, collective ownership and delivering the national outcomes, we’ve set out how this can be achieved with some tools to help and some examples of good practice we can all learn from.
