The LGMA Management Challenge is a sophisticated development program that is designed to develop new and improved skills in effective team processes, issue resolution and situational leadership for all team members. For nearly 20 years, councils from all over Australia and New Zealand have regarded the LGMA Management Challenge as Australia's premier forum for current and emerging local government leaders.

It is also good fun, great value and a hands-on approach to leadership development that translates into relevant, tangible and enduring benefits for your people, teams and organisations. Everyone who participates in the challenge - from experienced managers to emerging leaders, comes away with new and practical insights into excellence in leadership and management.

More than any other traditional training program or seminar the LGMA Management Challenge assists councils to:

• Attract and retain staff
• Improve organisational culture
• Promote team-work
• Develop new and sustainable management skills
• Breakdown silos
• Grow inter-departmental relationships, and
• Build capacity
