Julie Partridge, Programme Director, National School of Government: Centre for Strategic Leadership
15:05
|
Julie’s early career was as an operational manager before moving into training and development within HMRC. Her work as an internal consultant involved major change programmes supporting modernising government and mergers between Inland Revenue and other departments and agencies. Whilst developing leaders to communicate and manage change more effectively she took development out of the classroom and into the workplace using one to one and team coaching. In 2003 she began work with members of the SCS. Bringing leaders together to support each other through action learning they found the added value they bring as a corporate leadership resource. In 2006 Julie joined the National School to broaden her experience and to work with leaders from different public sector roles.
She is the Programme Director of both the Aspiring to Senior Civil Service and the Sunningdale Leadership Programme which prepares aspirants for leadership at the senior level. Julie believes the best way for leaders to learn is through discovery and aims to move leaders from knowing what it takes to lead in every day activities to leading major change
