Rosamund Christie, adjunct faculty member of the AGSM
Most of the challenges faced by union leaders are not simple to address. Leading change to equip your union to succeed for its members in a rapidly changing environment requires the ability to bring people together to develop approaches to complex problems. The Australian Trade Union Institute (ATUI) has partnered with the Australian Graduate School of Management at the University of NSW to present an engaging face to face workshop on Adaptive Leadership. This unique, highly immersive and experiential program will challenge you to become a stronger, more agile leader, extend beyond your current expertise, improve organisational performance and drive transformation. It will provide leaders with the capability to diagnose complex challenges and develop new skills and approaches to get engagement around problem solving.
Rosamund Christie is an adjunct faculty member of the AGSM and delivers leadership modules in Executive Programs to government, corporate and NGO clients. Rosamund recently completed The Art and Practice of Leadership Development at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and incorporates the learning and methodology in her delivery of leadership programs as a Director of Adaptive Leadership Australia.
This workshop forms one of the core modules of ATUI – AGSM’s Certificate of Executive Management and Development (CEMD) for Union Leaders. As it is being run in Melbourne, a strictly limited number of places are available for leaders outside of the program. Participants who complete this workshop will receive credit should they enrol in the full CEMD in the future.
The two-day program runs face-to-face in Melbourne on the following dates, and we encourage officials and staff in leadership roles to sign up and attend:
Melbourne – 4-5 August – Bob Hawke Room, ACTU, Level 4, 365 Queen St Melbourne
Thursday 4 August 2022 8:45am – 5:00pm
Friday 5 August 2022 8:45am – 5:00pm
Cost: $1210 per person inc GST.
In the face of falling union density and the pressures of everyday organising, it often feels like we are treading water when it comes to union growth. Every union member has a vital role to play, which is why it’s so important for organisers to take the time to transfer their knowledge, confidence and skills to union members.
Researching and presenting a submission is a skill that can be learnt, like any other. This course caters to officials who need to present matters to the Fair Work Commission or other industrial tribunals. You will learn a step-by-step approach that will provide guidance at every stage of the process, from initial research to presenting – ensuring you will be the most effective advocate possible.
The Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (WHS) is a nationally accredited program, which equips you with a practical WHS tool kit, based on a proactive and preventative approach to workplace health and safety from a union perspective.
The Certificate of Executive Management and Development comprises core modules, electives and masterclasses purposefully contextualised for Union Leader needs, equipping them with the practical skills and capabilities to lead in an accelerating and complex world.
Climate change is a workplace issue. It affects us all. This course is all about providing you practical strategies to both climate-proof your workplace – in alignment with WHS legislation – and to take a more active role in climate change campaigns, particularly campaigns for a just energy transition.
Become a more effective delegate as you represent the interests of workers in your workplace. This course is built for those embarking on a role as a delegate for the first time. Gain the practical skills and knowledge you need, as well as the confidence these skills entail, in order to effectively represent workers’ interests.
Economics for Unionists provides a grounding in the fundamentals of economic theory and policy from a unionist’s perspective. Enhance your understanding of major economic concepts and arguments, theories of labour in the economy, and alternative approaches to economic policy.
This course is all about exploring pragmatic ways to build worker voices in global supply chains. You will have the opportunity to extend your understanding of how global supply chains operate, including the gaps and weaknesses in existing regulatory frameworks – contextualised within the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the importance of modern slavery and human rights due diligence legislation.
The Fair Work Act of 2009 brought about important changes to workplace laws, particularly in relation to union officials’ entry to workplaces. As an Official completing this course, you will be able to apply for a right of entry permit under the Fair Work Act.
This course builds on the skills introduced in our Core skills for Delegates. As a workplace delegate, you will often play the role of problem solver, and at times need to step in to negotiate productive outcomes at the workplace level.
