Police awarded fellowship two years running

Superintendent Paula Rose, National Manager Organisational Performance, OoC has been awarded the 2006 FCO Aotearoa Fellowship.

The annual fellowship is sponsored by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office and supported by the British High Commission through the public service Leadership Development Centre (LDC). The fellowship grant of up to £10,000 enables personal development for talented and developing senior public service managers to improve their effectiveness in current and future roles.

Paula will use her fellowship to attend both the Developing Leaders Course and the Strategic Toolkit at Henley Management College in the UK. She also has a study programme with the Inspectorate of Constabulary and the Thames Valley Police.

Paula is looking forward to taking up her fellowship. “I view this opportunity as an experience to see what is happening in overseas police jurisdictions.

“I am looking forward to taking time out to enjoy the management development opportunity at Henley – a world leader in management development.”

This is the second year in a row that a member of police has been awarded the fellowship. Detective Superintendent Malcolm Burgess won last year and used his fellowship to attend the Developing Leaders Course at Henley and the Proteus course at London School of Business.
“Fellowships are a great opportunity for senior New Zealand public service managers to develop their leadership potential through exposure to leading edge thinking, new ideas, new practices and access to new resources,” says Geoff Dangerfield, Chair of the LDC Board.

Bruce Anderson, CEO of the LDC says: “It has been fantastic to have the police working with LDC over the last two years and they have shown that there is plenty of good leadership potential and that police have a lot in common with the public service”.
