U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

This seminar provides experienced mid-level managers with the tools they need to make the transition from experienced manager to effective leader.  You will learn ways to align your organization’s mission with that of the agency, create a more innovative work environment, deal with day-to-day challenges in a more politically acceptable way, become a better negotiator and advocate for your needs and those of your organization. You will also explore your own personal leadership philosophy and its effectiveness, learn how you can enhance it and develop an action plan for success.

The seminar will be conducted through guided discussions, practical exercises, case studies, experiential activities with facilitated debriefings and individual assignments. Assessments will provide feedback on how you are perceived by your peers, employees and superiors, and a personal executive coaching session will address your individual needs. Small-group sessions provide safe forums to practice new skills and help you achieve real results. You will also make invaluable connections and strong professional relationships that  will carry you forward on your leadership journey.
