We can offer something more lasting for everyone. Technology has to help us manage the workload, not increase it. If we want to attract creative and innovative people and enable them to contribute their best, we need to foster the leadership climate. Leadership development is not just about people in management roles. It applies to all positions.
Leadership involves flexibility, orientation to values, and openness to change and new ideas.
It includes an awareness and appreciation of technology and its role and potential in government. We need to be as innovative in our leadership approaches and in our workplaces as we are in our use of technology. To ensure that this continues well into the future, we must continue investing in our people and providing them with proper tools and training. In this day and age, to stand still is to fall behind. In conclusion, this is an exciting time in the Public Service of Canada.
