Supervisory Development 1: Fundamentals

Course Overview

Every federal agency relies on frontline management to get the job done. Though professions vary greatly across government, the responsibilities of the frontline supervisor do not. Every federal supervisor needs to know how to implement an effective human resource and performance management process to achieve high performance.

This course can be combined with our Supervisory Development 2: Learning to Lead course for a two-week immersion experience to expand these fundamentals into a foundation for great leadership.
