A 2 Day Hands-On Workshop 

Designed for Government Managers and Supervisors

You can craft the perfect program plan, but if the contractors and employees doing the work are not actively engaged in your mission – the plan will not succeed – you must lead them to success.

This workshop will focus on the development of interpersonal and mentoring skills required to lead complex programs. Critical thinking is explored as a means for problem-solving and decision-making in potentially uncertain and ambiguous operating environments. You will gain awareness of how modeling responsible and accountable behaviors relate to the effective and efficient use of program resources. Stakeholder relationship skills will be gained through interactive small group exercises.

Participants will gain a global awareness of the linkage between organizational vision and objectives by examining Business Line of Sight (BLoS) models. With this, they will create real-world talking points and leadership methodologies to be used in Strategic Alignment efforts upon return to their workplaces. This workshop includes a combination of case study analysis, reading, independent research, small group exercises, lecture, and follow-up coaching sessions. OPM Executive Core Qualifications are addressed in this workshop.
