Industry leadership
Need/issue:
The need for leadership across the dairy industry has never been greater. Large opportunities and risks lie ahead, and the capacity of its leaders will play a significant role in its success. The industry must identify and skill the next generation of leaders who can act at political, company, service, research and farm business levels. A number of stakeholders (including Dairy Australia) invest in this area however an industry-wide plan would increase efficiency/effectiveness.
We must encourage younger farmers, service providers, processors and researchers to become more involved in the industry and willing to develop their leadership potential. It is critical that they are supported in their skills development and engagement.
Program objective:
The overall objective is that the industry has the leaders it needs at the local (Tier1), regional (Tier 2) and national (Tier 3) level.
