ANU Professional Services Leadership Forum 2026

This ANU Professional Services Leadership Forum (PSLF)  is focussed on Prosocial Leadership.

Prosocial leadership is an approach centred on benefiting others, fostering collaboration, and creating shared value, where leaders prioritize collective goals over personal ego. Grounded in empathy and ethical behaviour, these leaders empower teams through trust, cooperation, and social responsibility. This style increases productivity by fostering a supportive environment that balances individual needs with the common good.

Some of the highlights of this forum will include: 

• Workshop: Solving challenges within our community

• Welcome from the COO

• ANU cross-portfolio speakers

This is the 6th PSLF supported by the COO and delivered by a volunteer committee across the university, who are committed to building knowledge, capability and networks across professional service areas to support best practice and innovation. The forum is an investment in service professionals across the ANU to support their development, talent and to highlight their value. Find out more on the PSLF Team site: Professional Services Leadership - Microsoft Teams
