Executive leaders programme
Executive leaders programme
Developing leaders who are forward thinking, courageous, curious, and driving continued growth.
The Sport NZ Executive Leaders Programme is designed to support you in driving transformational change for yourself and your organisation-working smarter not harder and doing more with less. Through a design-thinking approach the programme is created by you, for you using real case studies and examples from the Sport and Recreation sector. It’s a programme that is participant led, providing you with the opportunity to build strong connections with other CEs and sector executives, sharing your knowledge and experience with one another. The focus is on growing your leadership performance in order to deliver better outcomes for your organisation, your community and the sector as a whole.
