What is Collective Leadership
for Scotland?
We are a collaborative network which draws colleagues from across our public services to help collaborate
on complex, systemic issues in service of wider public service transformation.
We design and deliver learning and development activities with our partners to help equip colleagues to take up their collective, system leadership roles. This includes facilitation support for teams of people in their places of work and leadership, widespread interventions to stimulate new and creative ways of working, focussed development programmes to develop facilitation capacity, learning events around key themes and bespoke learning offers for sectors and partners.

As a practical tool, these provocations might be used with a group in the earliest stages, perhaps establishing a bespoke set of values and principles of how they wish to work together, in their collective leadership.
Testimonials
"Collective Leadership for Scotland is, in my experience, an exemplar for how leaders need to be trained for this time. Working as a community of like-minded and motivated leaders, learning to think systematically, focused on innovation, contribution and service - these are the essential ingredients that leaders need now."
