Leadership Development

Taking a Tiered Approach to Leadership Development

DOI University's Leadership Programs provide a planned, systematic, competency-based approach to developing future leaders, at all levels, for the Department of the Interior. The programs offer enhanced development opportunities for current and future leaders. Entry-level leadership development training provides high potential employees with the necessary skills to transition to supervisory and leadership roles.

Mid-Level leadership development provides leadership, supervisory, and managerial training to address the changing roles and competencies of Federal managers in the 21st century. A goal of mid-level leadership development training is to build a cadre of highly competent mid-level federal managers to address future leadership needs of the Department of the future.

Executive-level training prepares senior managers to move up into senior executive service positions and also provides continuing education opportunities for current senior executives. At each level of leadership development, an emphasis is placed on individual development of core competencies within the context of the Agency’s mission, vision, and critical leadership needs.
