Aiming to strengthen strategic people management in state and municipal governments, Motriz, supported by the Lemann Foundation, significantly expanded its work in Public Sector Leadership Development Programs (LDPs) in 2024. In total, around 249 leaders were trained through these programs, impacting a network of over 2,300 public servants.

The LDP in Minas Gerais trained leaders across 22 state agencies, while the mentorship program in Rio Grande do Sul promoted knowledge exchange among public leaders.

In Rio de Janeiro, the Líderes Cariocas Program aligned with the city government’s strategic planning, focusing on technical skills, intrapreneurship, and talent management.

“The partnership with Motriz allows us to strengthen strategic people management at SME-Rio. In 2024, we made important progress in the Leadership Development Program, reaching more than 150 executives with training based on the needs identified for each individual. The partnership also made it possible to integrate equity as a basic dimension in all processes, from selection to accreditation, qualifying technical approaches on these levels. Throughout the year we finally had the formation of HR key people to make the people management policy more widespread in the various areas. Having trained leaders is key to transforming educational management and delivering quality public education, connected to realities and fair to everyone.”

“For six years, Transforma Minas has been implementing innovative actions on three areas: recruitment and selection, development and performance, and engagement, focusing on strategic leaderships in Minas Gerais’ public administration. A great feature was the Vamos partnership, which provided methodologies and tools to structure the work teams, hire specialists and strengthen the institutional capacity of the state. In 2024, more than 300 leaders attended programs that promoted a robust training journey aligned with government guidelines, focusing on skills, performance and adaptive leadership. Integrated work between hierarchical levels and operations in the field has led to continuous improvement in the public management and strengthened the engagement of teams in different government bodies.”
