“I learned how to adapt to change and have the flexibility to pivot when priorities shift.”
Stacey reflects on the leadership behaviours she developed in her 12 months as Director Workforce Planning at the Department of Fire and Emergency Services. She says she appreciates the wider view the initiative has afforded her as a corporate executive member.
“We talk about building our leadership impact and this experience has given me a bigger, broader understanding not just of the department but of government and the way it works,” she says.

“It’s about being forever curious, forever learning – and I've learned so much about leadership and about myself.”
