Excellent decision making under pressure last week saw a Toowoomba Regional Council team judged the second best group in the State on a series of leadership tests at a Local Government Managers’ Australia (LGMA) Queensland Challenge.<\/p>\n

TRC Customer Service portfolio leader Cr Anne Glasheen said the result was a fantastic achievement by the team at the March test day in Brisbane, which was held on the Toowoomba Show public holiday.<\/p>\n

Seventeen teams from local governments across Queensland assembled for the extensive exercises.<\/p>\n

Cr Glasheen said TRC’s Synergy Effect team, comprising mentor Michael Pendlebury, Gabe Woldt, Josh Leddy, Minnie Moody, Jess Gallagher, Erin Ford and Andrew Spradbrow, received their award at a presentation function in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Cr Glasheen said both TRC teams received high praise and near perfect scores for videos addressing the Challenge theme, “productive communities”.<\/p>\n

“Council actively promotes staff development by encouraging officers to compete at the annual leadership test,” Cr Glasheen said.<\/p>\n

“Our top results this year show the benefits of a leadership mentor program where past Challenge participants guide new teams based on their experiences.<\/p>\n

“The Challenge is a leadership test where teams are given a series of problems to solve within strict timeframes. A pre-Challenge task is submitted before the day with the rest of the test revealed on the main competition date.<\/p>\n

“Tasks simulate what Council managers face on a daily basis and expose Council staff to more rigorous decision making.<\/p>\n

“The Challenge offers good training for all staff involved and ensures we maintain a focus on serving all our customers to the best of our ability.”<\/p>\n

One hundred and ten teams from councils across Australia and New Zealand entered the 2014 Challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
