It's that time of year once again when public leaders get an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day hurly-burly and reflect on the underlying principles of what they do.
Public is delighted once again this year to be associated with the Ashridge Public Leadership Centre's prize essay competition. Every year, Ashridge Business School and Guardian Public ask public leaders to submit essays providing deeper insight into the nature and challenges of public management and leadership.
This year, we are asking leaders to muse on the nature of learning that has made them a better leader. Closing date for entries is Friday 30 October 2009.
The essays will be judged by a distinguished panel of judges, including Sir Richard Mottram, Professor Sally Davies, David Gauke, MP for south west Hertfordshire and Lord Chris Smith, and the winning essay will be published by Guardian Public in early 2010.
