Academi Wales launched to improve leadership
Leadership excellence can improve Welsh public services, the local government and communities minister Carl Sargeant has announced.
He was speaking at the launch of Academi Wales, a Government programme aimed at improving leadership and management practice within Welsh public services.
The Academi will be a national centre to support this, by bringing together leadership programmes, services and resources from across public services, including local government, the NHS and higher education.
Sargeant said: “Great leadership is essential to the effective delivery of public services in Wales. In order to make sure that the people of Wales have the best opportunities and services we can provide we need to be able to build and sustain leadership at all levels of our workforce.
“Academi Wales will support a culture of leadership and learning which will support and help deliver genuine partnership and collaboration.”
Academi Wales will help to deliver Sargeant’s agenda for public service reform, he added.
