Essex Partners is pleased to announce that ThePublicOffice will deliver Leading Greater Essex – a twelve month leadership collaboration for emerging leaders from across the public sector in Essex.

Leading Greater Essex will bring together 50 emerging leaders from across public services in Essex, Southend and Thurrock in July to develop their system leadership practice and shape the future by seeing issues not in public service silos, but instead as common challenges that we need to work on together.

In the twelve months ahead ThePublicOffice will offer the collaborative the opportunity to learn together and work on real and system-wide issues. Priority work from across public services will benefit from the capacity and capabilities of a supported group of emerging leaders to progress and accelerate the work for the benefit of Essex citizens.

The shared aim is to create a sustained, whole Essex, network effect: supporting Essex to learn its way towards the future, whilst making progress on the immediate County priorities articulated within the Future of Essex and South Essex vision.

Leading Greater Essex has recruited 50 leaders that are already operating within senior roles across organisations within Essex, displaying high leadership potential and strong leadership behaviours with an ambition to influence outcomes by delivering collaborative agendas and shared ambitions.
