It simultaneously engages all levels of agency leadership through
internal action-based learning strategies at the individual, team and agency levels.
T his agency exclusive leadership development series is conducted over 12–18 months and is provided to participants within selected partner agencies.
The learning strategies used in this “blended” individual and organizational development series may include, dependent upon specific partner agency need, three 24-hour (3 on-site day) classroom sessions spread out over the series, independent e-learning courses, online instructor-led sessions, online 360-degree feedback leadership assessments, reading, individual developmental coaching sessions, and the development of personal leadership development plans.
Participants will prepare a dynamic leadership plan and undertake action-based learning projects focused on the relevant issues in their agencies with the intention of applying skills and strategies learned in the program to build organizational capacity and manage organizational change.
