Lost and found on the Future Leaders Scheme (FLS)

“Future Leaders Scheme is building a diverse, robust pipeline to senior roles. You’re part of the high potential, talented civil servants who can get there.”
The Future Leaders Scheme (FLS) is one of the UK Civil Service’s Accelerated Development Schemes, aimed at high-potential grade 6 and 7 civil servants. You can read my previous reflections on the scheme here:
To be a person on the Future Leaders Scheme (FLS)
Hello dear reader,
I’ve spent my time on the scheme in one way or another struggling, confused, in-between, or barely managing. The truth of my reality here is so much uglier and grittier and nuanced and complicated than these blog posts makes it seem.
The nature of this blog is not to discover a truth. There is no single truth or way to go through the scheme, but a landscape of meaning and myriad of experiences. I’m not looking for a way to master the transitions, just a way to move from being stuck to unstuck.
So, here goes.
