Gateways Support Services

Leadership Team DEvelopment

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Gateways Support Services engaged the Australian Leadership Academy (ALA) to deliver a leadership program to leaders and managers within the organisation.

ALA’s unique approach included the ‘agenda setting process’ where the team presented their most significant adaptive challenges and core focus for the work. This ensured that the collective approach stayed focused on the needs of the leaders and the wider organisation.
