Mining the ruins 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:
Why the Future Leaders Scheme (FLS) fails — and what to do about it
Hello dear reader,
I’m not sure what this blog post is about; I’m kind of figuring it out as I write.
I have spent much time and space trying to distil and properly articulate the thoughts in my head. At the same time, I’ve wanted to keep a lot of the things I was working out within myself separate. It’s also an ongoing practice for me to even let myself be seen in an intimate, up-close way.
Many of you have found my ramblings helpful in your own journeys. I’ve been delighted by the thoughtfulness and generosity of what people have shared with me in conversations. But there is much more than the things I write about: as my writing has gained its own momentum, other people’s sensemaking has enriched it and furthered my own.
So, here goes.
