Our Approach

Leaders learn best by doing. We invite participants to bring challenges they are currently facing on the job into the classroom. We then help each participant create an action plan to improve their performance and we provide ongoing guidance after each seminar to ensure the implementation of lessons learned. With this emphasis on action, we help translate classroom lessons into results.

Seminar participants will:

  • Learn how to apply best practices from the public and private sectors
  • Participate in interactive class discussions and exercises
  • Reinforce class lessons by creating an action plan to address real-time challenges
  • Receive after-class support from Partnership staff after classes to ensure implementation

A Network of Support

Applying classroom lessons on the job requires practice and reinforcement. What sounds easy conceptually is often hard in reality. To help participants work through these challenges, participants in the seminars are invited to join the Center for Government Leadership’s network of rising leaders. Through events and online forums, participants will learn from their peers across government.
