Programme Specialist Franklyn Michael as he delivered his presentation. CARICAD was invited by the Secretary to the Cabinet in Grenada, Mrs. Beryl Isaac to conduct a retreat for the Senior Managers Board (SMB) of the public service. The retreat took place in Grenada on Thursday, November 15th this year. The goal of the retreat was to engender a commitment to mutual support among the Senior Management Board of Grenada, encouraging commitment to the cohesive implementation of Government Policy. The members of the SMB had been asked to familiarise themselves with the CARICAD template for the functioning of Committees of Permanent Secretaries as well as the CARICAD Charter and Implementation Guide, prior to the retreat. Electronic versions of those documents can be obtained from CARICAD. More than 20 members of the SMB participated in the highly participatory and interactive sessions. The CARICAD team was led by Executive Director Devon Rowe who facilitated what was styled as “a conversation with the SMB”. Mr. Rowe focused on the Jamaican experience in economic recovery between 2012 and 2016, which was during his time at the Ministry of Finance, culminating in his appointment as Financial Secretary, a role in which he distinguished himself for values-based leadership. Assistant Director Rosemund Warrington and Programme Specialist Franklyn Michael facilitated sessions that dealt with: The Leadership/ Management Interface The Ideal Public Sector Managers Scenarios – Mini Case Studies Self-assessment Questionnaires in Leadership and Teamwork Participants at the SMB retreat. 5 Continues on Page 6
