Leadership

Policy and Initiatives

Although it is well known that the Executive Branch is charged with carrying out the laws of the Nation, not everyone recognizes how intimately this function involves Government leaders. You may not have been elected, but you are accountable to elected officials in all three branches of Government, and ultimately, to the people they were established to serve. Your decisions impact the way citizens lead their lives, and this factor makes leadership in the public sector fundamentally and profoundly different from leadership in private sector enterprises. It is why you take an oath of office.

Our Policy and Initiatives seminars are designed not just to improve your effectiveness, but also to honor this important responsibility. You will learn about new Administration initiatives, congressional mandates, legal developments, and intragovernmental policy changes; you will develop new approaches to implementing policy and new strategies for evaluating it—all while enhancing your understanding of your role as a Federal leader in this process; and your responsibilities as a participant in governance. You will learn to achieve the right results in the right way.

"The Science, Technology, and Public Policy Seminar I attended in 2004 was by far the best training I have received in my 27 years with the Federal Government. The caliber of speakers, learning exercises, and even the meeting facilities set a very high bar. Bravo."
