Moments of lightness on the Future Leaders Scheme (FLS)
Quote by Emily McDowell: “Personal growth is misleading, because it sounds like it’s going to be fun. But if we called it “deliberately making yourself so uncomfortable it’ll feel like you’re dying,” nobody would do it and we’d be totally screwed.”
“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.”
