• The AMCTO – IVEY Executive Municipal Leadership Program

    The AMCTO-IVEY Executive Municipal Leadership Program is a highly immersive six-session program designed to hone the leadership skills of senior local government executives. This customized executive development program will explore the core tenets of successful leadership, and provide you with valuable insights into your own leadership capabilities. It will equip you with the specific insights, skills and tools needed to drive peak performance, orchestrate change, and develop a leadership culture within your organization.

    The intensive program content focuses on three central themes:

    • Leading Self 
    • Leading Teams 
    • Leading the Organization 

    The curriculum is case-driven with rich, participant-centric discussions covering topics such as:

    • Learning to become a better leader
    • Leader character
    • Leading under extraordinary circumstances
    • Values-based leadership
    • Team leadership effectiveness
    • Self-awareness
    • Fostering collaboration
    • Leading change

    The dynamic curriculum includes sessions with inspiring speakers, and opportunities to network and share perspectives with colleagues from across the sector. This program is delivered virtually over six half-day sessions. Each module requires approximately one hour of preparation, followed by four hours of live faculty sessions for a total of 25 commitment hours.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "It was an excellent environment, working in teams and navigating the many "grey" situations, testing judgement and ability to extract pertinent facts from the case material. The group discussions were also a great opportunity to get perspectives on the cases from other municipal executives. The exercises which allowed insight into our leadership styles were quite valuable. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone in a leadership role."

    - Kevin Breen, City Manager, City of St. John's

  • "The high level case studies challenged my own understanding and leadership orientation in a variety of complex scenarios. Most importantly, the program as a whole provided me with a strong avenue for self-reflection that I have been able to utilize and grow in a way that supports my role as a leader in my municipality."

    - Demetre Rigakos, Director of Human Resources - City of Vaughan 

  • "I can confidently say that was the most informative program I have completed. It provides extreme value for the money. I learned more about myself and leadership in those 3 days than my combined work experience! Totally appreciative of the program. I think that's the sort of education program AMCTO should offer!"

    - Paul Shipway, CMO, CAO, Municipality of Bayham
