Introduction |
|
The Clore Leadership Programme
is designed to help develop the
knowledge, skills, networks and experience of potential leaders
across a wide range of cultural activities. This includes the visual
and performing arts, heritage, museums, libraries and archives, and
cultural policy and administration. We offer about twenty-five
Fellowships a year to exceptional individuals who are either working
within the cultural sector, or who are working outside it but
demonstrate a knowledge, understanding and passion for culture. If you want to apply
for a Fellowship, you must be able
to demonstrate most or all of the following attributes:
|
|
|
|
you must have the potential to enthuse and inspire those
both within and outside
your organisation
and to gain the respect of the cultural sector |
|
|
|
|
|
in your professional life |
|
|
|
|
|
this includes recognising the strengths and gaps in your
own experience, and identifying clear personal objectives
for the Fellowship |
|
|
|
|
|
and a sense of purpose |
|
|
|
|
|
in
writing, speaking and in groups, you must be competent
and comfortable with technology, skilled
in presentation and negotiation, and sensitive to others' interests |
|
|
|
|
|
you must have the capacity to reflect and learn, have interests
beyond your
current specialism and an awareness of the wider context |
|
|
|
|
|
you need the ability to analyse complex information, assess risk
and make
choices, and the confidence and courage to take decisions |
|
|
|
|
|
you must have the ability to motivate
and develop others, to set high standards
for yourself
and others, to form, value and give inspiration to a team, to
be hands-on and to delegate when appropriate |
|
|
|
|
|
you should think laterally and creatively, innovate, solve problems
and encourage
change |
|
|
|
|
|
you must demonstrate honesty,
authenticity, humility and openness, and
welcome diversity |
|
|
|
We will also be
looking for the extra imaginative "spark" that marks an
outstanding potential leader. This should give us an indication that
you will be able to initiate and innovate, to energise and inspire,
as well as deliver. "I
feel (and I am) a more rounded leader, able to do my job better."
