Executive Development Seminar: Leading Change
Getting the Big Picture for Tomorrow Right - Today
Overview
This Seminar will help you develop essential leadership skills for upper-level management. You will acquire a big-picture perspective and learn to lead change by examining structure, strategy and policy. You will also discuss real-world leadership challenges and explore your leadership style through a 360-degree assessment.
Collaborating with your seminar group, you will design a Government office, establish its mission, set its goals and complete an efficient strategic plan aligned with the President's Management Agenda and the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART). Guided and independent research will help you determine which Government agencies, Congressional committees and special interest groups are appropriate partners. Group work and instruction will teach you to interact positively and build collaborative relationships.
