Some Ideas about Leadership Leadership Theories, Approaches and Styles. “A leader is only as effective as the ability to bring out the effectiveness of a group. In other words, leadership is less about an individual than group process, so the boss’ ability to change an organisation depends more on the nature of the organisation than the boss’ personality”.

Partnership Formation Participation and Inclusion The Challenge of developing Cross Sectoral Relationships Clear Processes and Timelines

The Partnership A Shared Early Years Vision Linking the Early Years Vision to the core business of each partner Service System Silo’s and Fragmentation Opportunities and Risks

Partnership Consolidation Understand complexity of multiple agendas of service providers: some for more funding; some to build on previous work; some worry they will be left out; and some want to watch only Allow time for partners to develop ownership of objectives Recognise that progress, at times, may be very slow.

Leadership – Partnership Structures Leadership – Executive Group The Best Start Partnership – Community Leadership Strategy Working Groups Project Partnerships

Community Leadership New Projects and Service Improvements Refocusing Existing Services Reduced Fragmentation – Improved Co- ordination – better outcomes Evaluation and Local Research New Funding Opportunities

Parents as Leaders 8 Parents employed as bilingual storytellers 8 Parents trained in Parent Leadership Program Parent-led playgroups Parents experiences of early years services and activities to be described in a DVD’s “Learning Starts at Birth” for the Arabic and Turkish speaking communities

Concluding Comments Leadership is only as effective as the ability to bring out the effectiveness of the Best Start Partnership The purpose of all of this is that there is lasting benefits for our children; and Creation of longer term sustainability of supports to families who care and nurture their children
