(ii)       to agree that a coaching approach to managing and leading should act as a core foundation within all the management development programmes; and

The Committee had before it a report by the Director of Customer Services which presented the refreshed approach to leadership and management development, which would form a key part of the Workforce Strategy to be presented to Committee in November.  The report advised that leaders and managers would be supported to develop and nurture the capabilities required to facilitate the organisational culture which would strategically orient the Council to deliver the outcomes of the next phase of the Target Operating Model – TOM 1.2, and ultimately the collective vision for the future of Aberdeen.

Members asked a number of questions on the report.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee –

(a)      note the refreshed approach to Leadership and Management development and the upcoming delivery timeline; and

(b)      agree that a coaching approach to managing and leading should act as a core foundation within all the management development programmes.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to instruct officers to report back on progress with the scheme in a year’s time; and

(ii)       to otherwise approve the recommendations.
