Course Description
A 3 or 4 Day Workshop
This workshop provides a clear, practical look at the qualities and characteristics of leaders and leadership situations. The workshop focuses on practical problems and situations of the government work environment, and characteristics of the effective leader. The emphasis is on learning proven ways of thinking and acting in leadership situations.
This workshop is led by a highly experienced federal government manager who will give you clear, solid, practical advice—and high-level thinking—about what strategic planning is and what it isn’t. The most current, up-to-the minute changes in government are discussed, as well as likely future changes, and how to plan for them. You will discuss strategic planning models with an eye toward the pitfalls and fallacies of conventional strategic planning wisdom. Professional processes are developed within the context of the organization and its needs.
