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

Overview

FEI’s Leadership Horizons series is specifically designed for experienced members of the Senior Executive Service, focusing on pressing issues of the day while drawing on the lessons of the past.  Like the nation we serve, Leadership Horizons is founded on a strong and invigorating sense of the public service and core Constitutional values.  Within that key framework you will join with FEI faculty, distinguished guest speakers, and peers from across Government to expand your leadership horizon by exploring the latest thinking in the field of leadership and learning new ways of leading effectively in the challenging public environment that defines the SES.

 

Executive excellence results from the ability to create a resourceful and positive state of mind while wrestling with the myriad of leadership challenges that entangle members of the SES.  Achieving leadership performance at the highest level possible--the zenith of one's ability--is even more pressing and demanding as public servants strive to work for America in an era of unprecedented demands and complexity.  To promote and enhance excellence in public sector executive leadership, FEI has partnered with the nation's premier center for peak performance at the United States Military Academy at West Point to offer an innovative program focused on the behaviors that help us perform at our best.  The program is exclusively for SES members.

 

Working closely with faculty from FEI and West Point's Center for Enhanced Performance, guest speakers, and with peers from across government, you will explore and practice the intangible but indispensable mental skills that underlie peak human performance, including confidence despite setbacks, concentration amidst distractions, and composure under stress.  You will draw from leading-edge work in sports psychology and neuroscience to enhance the critical skills necessary to attain a positive state of mind. You will significantly improve your ability to maximize leadership performance at the upper ranges of your talent -- your personal zenith.  At your zenith, you will achieve your mission critical goals for the nation.

How Will You Benefit

At the end of the course you will:

• Understand how to apply key sports psychology and neuroscience methods to leadership performance
• Develop mental strength for confidence and success in any endeavor under any circumstance
