Course Description

Federal managers and supervisors are faced with demands that lie outside the traditional scope of supervision: increasing diversity in the workforce; changing values among different generations of employees; the loss of large numbers of senior, experienced staff; and changing philosophy regarding mission and scope. Many agencies are embracing a model that has parallels in the private sector and are redefining themselves within a business model. In this evolving environment, the ability to be forward-looking and innovative is critical. This highly interactive course provides practical skills and techniques that apply to your workplace.
