Rural Management Challenge

What is the the Rural Management Challenge?

The Rural Management Challenge is a sophisticated developmental program that produces outcomes that have relevant, tangible and enduring benefits for your people, your teams and your council. It is also good fun, great value and a hands-on approach to professional development. Councils enter teams of four staff members from any level. These teams come together to compete with other rural councils in a day filled with a variety of tasks.

The winning team will receive 6 tickets (for 4 team members, their mentor & CEO) to attend the 2019 Leadership Excellence Gala Awards Dinner where they will be officially presented with the winner's trophy.

Why should you enter?

The Rural Management Challenge provides rural councils with a unique opportunity for staff development, with an emphasis is one of learning, both individually and as a team. It is an immersive experience designed to develop your skills to become more effective in the way you lead, think, communicate, negotiate, decide, analyse and engage.

2019 Key Dates

The 2018 Rural Management Challenge was held on Thursday 11 October 2018 at the Renmark Hotel, Renmark.
