Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
This module explores how chief executives lead beyond the organisation: convening partners, working with government and spending time where it matters for residents. It covers Sir Michael Lyons's place-shaping, the public services board cycle under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, statutory place partnerships in England and Wales, Huish and Milliner's verbs of partnership leadership and Gwent as the first Marmot region in Wales. This module examines how council chief executives are appointed, appraised, protected and held to account in Wales and England. It covers the standing orders regulations, the JNC for Local Authority Chief Executives, an annual appraisal cycle drawing on Local Government Association guidance, dismissal safeguards for statutory officers, the public rooms of accountability and an illustrative composite case of appraisal after an election.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Explain place leadership as authority borrowed from relationships, drawing on Lyons's account of place-shaping.
- Compare the statutory place partnerships in England and Wales, including integrated care partnerships, public services boards and corporate joint committees.
- Apply the verbs of partnership leadership and the six steps for convening a place, and audit your diary for place time.
- Outline how a council chief executive is appointed in England and Wales, including the roles of member panels and full council.
- Describe the JNC conditions and an annual appraisal cycle, including the part played by an external facilitator and a cross-party panel.
