Leadership

Supervisory Leadership Seminar (Split Program) - Week 2: Leadership

Gaining Fundamental Tools and Techniques

Overview

This seminar can be completed as individual seminar weeks or as a two-week experience.  You can choose the order of completion when taken individually. When taken together, the cost is $5,500. Please see http://www.leadership.opm.gov/Programs/Management-and-Supervisory-Skills/SLSS/Index.aspx to view the course description and/or register for Week One.

OVERVIEW

Successful frontline supervisors are able to artfully balance the authority of formal supervision with the influence and rapport of leadership. Often called “soft skills” leadership, this can be the hardest part of your job because it isn’t clear-cut and applicable from a policy perspective. You will explore motivation and values; how emotional intelligence is often a greater asset than IQ in your interpersonal leadership; your role as coach, counselor and mentor; and the advantages of building an inclusive workforce.

How Will You Benefit
  • Understand your motivations and those of others through the Strength Deployment Inventory ®

  • Learn how the competencies of emotional intelligence increase interpersonal communication while decreasing conflict

  • Know when to coach performance, counsel behaviors and mentor careers

  • Learn to use all facets of workplace diversity to create an environment where all employees can contribute and succeed
