Leadership

Seminar for New Managers: Blended

A Powerful Learning Experience for New Managers

Overview

This blended Seminar for New Managers contains the same developmental activities as the in-residence Seminar for New Managers and is designed to help you transition from supervisor to manager.

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, while improving skills in conflict resolution, problem solving and decision-making

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