Real World Group at PPMA Conference 2025: Celebrating 50 Years of Public Sector Leadership

We are thrilled to once again be attending the PPMA Conference 2024 as a strategic sponsor, a milestone event as the Public Services People Managers Association celebrates its 50th anniversary! This annual gathering brings together the best in HR and Organisational Development (OD) from across the public sector, and we can’t wait to reconnect with our clients, partners, and fellow professionals.

As always, PPMA provides an incredible platform for collaboration, innovation, and learning. This year is particularly special, not just because of the anniversary, but because it is an opportunity to reflect on how leadership in the public sector has evolved—and where it needs to go next.

Why You Should Attend Our PPMA Conference Session:

“Human Beings, Not Human Doings – The Power of Servant and Engaging Leadership”

At Real World Group, we believe that leadership is the key driver of positive workplace culture, employee engagement, and organisational resilience. As HR and OD professionals, we are constantly asked to do more with less, all while supporting our people through unprecedented challenges. That’s why it is more critical than ever to move beyond outdated, hierarchical leadership models and embrace Servant and Engaging Leadership.

What We’ll Cover in This Session:

We’ll explore how Servant Leadership, first introduced in 1970 through The Servant as Leader, remains a powerful, transformative approach. Our evidence-based Engaging Leadership model aligns with these principles, ensuring leaders can foster high-performing, motivated, and resilient teams.

Key takeaways from this session include:

✔ The Core Principles of Servant Leadership – Why this leadership style is more relevant than ever in today’s workplace.

✔ Engaging Leadership in Action – How this approach enhances workplace culture, job satisfaction, wellbeing, and retention.

✔ Practical Strategies for Leaders – Steps to embed servant and engaging leadership behaviours within teams.

✔ Solving Modern HR & OD Challenges – From wellbeing to engagement, inclusion, and navigating change.

✔ Building Stronger Leader-Employee Relationships – How prioritising people drives morale, trust, and innovation.

We are excited to be part of PPMA’s 50th-anniversary celebrations and contribute to shaping the next era of leadership in the public sector.
