About the Session
Are your leaders dealing with lots of change? Do you have a model for developing leaders that consistently addresses the biggest challenges your leaders face? Does your current leadership development model align with your agency’s priorities while remaining within your budget constraints?
Join co-presenters Sardek P. Love and Larry R. Felix for a discussion on the key components of an effective leadership development model you can adopt to create exceptional leaders in your agency. This session will provide an overview of ASTD’s “Creating Leadership Development Programs” certificate course. Tailored to meet the needs of government agencies, Sardek and Felix will share strategies that allow you to align your leadership development process with agency priorities, determine the skills gaps in your leadership ranks, and provide a methodology for addressing those skills gaps. You will receive a variety of tips, tools, and strategies in a hands-on, interactive session that will enable you to immediately begin applying concepts presented back on the job. The speakers will also share stories and answer questions about their extensive experience helping government agencies effectively develop their current and future leaders.
Learning Objectives:
- Review a 5 step leadership development model for creating effective leaders in your government agency.
- Identify the agency priorities that serve as the road map for your leadership development program.
- Utilize a tool to identify the skills gaps that exist in your leadership ranks.
