Meaningful Partnerships Scaling Impact in Municipal Leadership

In 2024, Citizen Leader Lab launched their first Leaders for Municipality pilot in partnership with Sphere Holdings and Old Mutual Foundation—bringing their proven leadership model to Municipal Managers. The response in the pilot programme has been overwhelmingly positive, with leaders gaining powerful insights and real-world solutions for their teams. A snippet of one leader’s feedback on the experience:

“It has been a joy and a privilege to participate in the Leaders for Municipality programme. Each of the elements of the programme catalyse important learning and work together in a wonderful way to take the leaders from knowledge, through insight and into practical application. One of the main reasons for this high-benefit experience is that the partnerships between business and municipal leaders ensure that each leader gets to really focus on their own growth edges, work challenges and practical real-world work projects. Business partners have also gone into the working environment and assisted with team development, planning, innovation ideas and more.”

We look forward to working with more municipalities in 2025 and beyond!
