Leadership

Seminar for New Managers (SNM)

A Powerful, Interactive Learning Experience for New Managers

Overview

Once you have mastered your supervisory skills and been promoted to manager—the leader of supervisors—you become a member of middle management and assume much greater responsibility for your organization. This seminar will help you develop valuable new skills while exploring your roles and responsibilities as a Federal manager operating ethically under the Constitution.

Through application activities, case studies and small-group work, you will:
  • Examine your organization and recognize the interconnectedness of the organizational systems
  • Explore organizational culture and resistance to change, learning how the manager sets the tone for success
  • View your leadership through the lenses of emotional intelligence and the DiSC instrument, while improving skills in conflict resolution, problem solving and decision-making

Other focus topics include effectively using teams, delegation, empowerment, accountability and resilience.
