TRANSFORM Strengthening the present Building the future
What is TRANSFORM?
TRANSFORM is the ‘Transformational Leadership Program’ – a development program designed to strengthen the leadership capability of senior officers, managers and leaders in The Salvation Army, who already demonstrate strong leadership capabilities and have potential to be considered for senior/executive positions in the future. The program is built around the attributes and competencies within The Salvation Army Capability Framework.
TRANSFORM operates at multiple levels: Individual:
Transform the individual capability of participants
Team:
Transform the effectiveness of the participant’s current team and setting Transform the future effectiveness of the organisation by intentionally working to develop the next generation of senior leaders
Organisation:
We are now inviting applications for the 2016 TRANSFORM pilot program.
What does TRANFORM involve?
TRANSFORM consists of a series of residential events, supported by a range of development activities undertaken before, between and after the residential events. All elements are compulsory, and work together to increase the leadership capabilities of participants over time.
TRANSFORM activities support a 70:20:10 approach to development (see model at right). Learning through education is a relatively small part of the picture – learning through experience and learning through relationships with others are critical parts of the program commitment.
