Leadership

LEADERSHIP is the cornerstone of our success and it exists at all levels of our organization. Leadership Development is high on our priority list. Our “flat” organizational structure, values-driven culture and belief in a “leader-full” workplace means that employees are expected to think, contribute their ideas and assist in solving problems that are normally considered “management” decisions.

We grow our leaders and support their development. Our Leadership Network Group meets quarterly to learn, network and support each other with common issues.

Our Succession Planning initiative encourages employees to “grow” their careers at The City of Grande Prairie.

"I’ve been with the City for just over 15 years and I think a testament to how much you enjoy your work is how quickly time goes and believe me it has flown right by! I, along with my respective staffs, have been allowed to do what we need to do to get the job done from both the political and senior administrative level and that isn’t something that happens everyday in a government setting. We are trusted to do our jobs and when assistance is required all we have to do is ask for it. Grande Prairie has always been an exciting place to be and even more so in this booming economy. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else at this time in my career where the opportunities still remain endless. How cool is that?!?!?!"
