Guru addresses Senior Public Service Managers

On 2 August 1996 senior public officers listened to Dr Edward de Bono speak about leadership, creativity, and innovation in management, at a seminar which was held for them at the Mediterranean Conference Centre. Dr de Bono is consultant to international conglomerates and much sought after as a speaker.

The seminar, titled "Creative Leadership", was attended by Permanent Secretaries, Directors General and Directors. It was introduced by Mr J R Grima, Head of the Public Service.

The seminar for senior Public Service managers was held as a complement to other initiatives that are under way to streamline procedures and improve service standards in the Public Service. A vital role in delivering better results to the public will be played by managers who can think creatively, have the authority to manage, and are held accountable for their performance.
