New Mayors and Councillors face a steep learning curve. Effective community governance demands skills we are rarely taught or acquire in other spheres - big-picture thinking, long-term planning, political diplomacy and strategic decision-making in a complex and uncertain environment.

Local Legends is designed exclusively for elected and executive leaders to meet the unique challenges of local government.

You can run the programme in-house, or access a self-led curriculum through your local government association.
