Overview

Developing new, imaginative approaches to managing succession is critical to successful human capital management. This program prepares you to grow new leaders in your organization, a central task of leadership that is drawing increased Presidential and Congressional focus and that is included in the General Accounting Office's list of high-risk Federal activities. The impending retirement of a large number of senior executives is further intensifying this interest.

The Leaders Growing Leaders program at the Federal Executive Institute (FEI) will help you understand the leadership gap and develop innovative approaches to cultivating new leaders in your organization. It draws on years of research that clearly demonstrate that leaders are grown, formally and informally, through challenging job-based experiences and interaction with senior leaders.
