Leadership Redefined

The Australian Rural Leadership Foundation enjoys a good reputation, particularly within rural and regional Australia, based on the achievements of its graduates. The Foundation has been asked to assist with a range of leadership development initiatives within rural and regional Australia.

The Australian Rural Leadership Program is one of those initiatives and gives a unique opportunity for selected rural and regional leaders to undertake a program of personal growth and develop the skills, knowledge and networks needed to be effective in regional, state, national and international arenas.

The program comprises professional and personal leadership skills development, examination of key national and international issues and interaction with leaders in government, industry and the community.

The Australian Rural Leadership Program prepares these leaders to:

• develop sustainable, competitive and profitable industries, in an international context;
• develop sustainable (economic, social, environmental) communities within rural and regional Australia;
• establish strategic alliances and build strong links within and across industry sectors;
• identify the competing demands for industry, government and the community support;
• identify and analyse the strategic issues affecting the future of rural and regional Australia;
• understand the values, tactics and arguments of interest groups;
• deal confidently with industry, government and community leaders in Australia and overseas; and
• participate in shaping national policies.

The Program is for the development of the men and women who will lead rural and regional Australia well into the 21st century — men and women with vision and a commitment to shaping the future.
