Workmate to Positive Local Government Leader
Unleash The Power of Positive Leadership
There is nothing that will determine an organisation’s success (or failure) more than its workplace culture. This is especially true with employee health and well-being, where having a bad culture can destroy even the most well-designed employee programs.
Challenges faced by any business
One of the challenges faced by any business is how to prepare their people for development into leadership roles. How does a good operator who is part of a team one day, step up into being the manager of the people he was working with the day before?
One thing is for sure – without proper preparation, they may struggle, and you will end up losing a good employee, and gaining a less than ideal manager. While it’s often, and correctly, said that “experience is the best teacher”, few businesses can afford the potential errors made by ill-prepared leaders that cost money to fix.
Developing Emerging Leaders
With more that 30 years experience working with and understanding local governments, TME has developed a program that works closely with business management to better prepare up-and coming staff for leadership and management roles.
Our “Workmate to Positive Local Government leader” program specifically addresses the challenges that a new manager must deal with when promoted over his peers.
Also provides them with a broad understanding of the various roles that a manager needs to adopt in their day to day activities.

Leadership Pipeline Development
By offering an “Emerging Leaders” course, your organisation can identify and nurture high-potential employees who exhibit leadership potential. The program provides a structured pathway for these individuals to develop their skills and progress towards managerial roles.
Cultivating a Leadership Culture
Implementing an “Emerging Leaders” course reinforces a culture of leadership and continuous improvement within the organization. It sends a message to employees that the organization values and invests in developing its talent. This can inspire others to pursue leadership development opportunities, fostering a culture of learning, growth.
Improved Team Performance
Well-trained and capable managers positively influence team dynamics and performance. Emerging leaders who have completed the “Mate to Manager” program are better equipped to motivate, guide, and develop their teams. They possess the skills to set clear expectations, provide feedback, and facilitate effective communication. As a result, team members are more engaged, productive, and aligned with organizational goals.
Organizational Alignment and Agility
An “Emerging Leaders” course that includes a “Mate to Manager” program helps align the skills and capabilities of emerging leaders with the organization’s strategic objectives. By developing leaders internally, the organization can ensure that managers understand and promote the organization’s values, vision, and goals.

An “Emerging Leaders” course with a “Mate to Manager” program demonstrates your organization’s commitment to investing in the growth and development of its employees. This fosters a sense of loyalty and engagement among emerging leaders, increasing their retention within the organization.
Knowledge and Skill Transfer:
The “Mate to Manager” component of the course specifically addresses the transition from an individual contributor to a managerial role. It equips emerging leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively manage teams, including communication, delegation, performance management, and conflict resolution. This transfer of knowledge and skills contributes to smoother transitions and empowers new managers to be successful in their roles.
Improved Employee Engagement
Providing opportunities for growth and development through an “Emerging Leaders” course can significantly boost employee engagement. Employees who see a clear career progression path and have access to relevant training and mentorship are more likely to be motivated, satisfied, and committed to their roles.
