Leadership Skills Needed to Implement Best Practices

Recognizing that local governments are facing unprecedented, concurrent, and interrelated challenges, such as aging infrastructure, evolving service expectations, retaining and recruiting staff, and keeping up with technology, the Government Finance Officers Association of British Columbia (GFOABC) has developed its Leadership Competency Framework. The framework, which outlines the competencies needed to demonstrate excellence in local government service delivery, is intended to help local government finance professionals assess themselves and others and identify and pursue a path to strategic financial leadership. At this session, you will learn more about each of the seven competencies and how to use the framework to assess yourself and others in your organization. 

Learning Objectives

• Identify the seven competencies in the GFOABC Leadership Competency Framework
• Provide examples of different levels of competence for each of the seven competencies
• Use the framework to assess your level of leadership competence
