Federal Executive Institute's Center for Executive Leadership

Program Highlights

The Federal Executive Institute's Center for Executive Leadership serves senior government leaders, especially alumni of the Leadership for a Democratic Society program, and their agencies. CEL provides custom and consulting services at FEI and at agency sites. It also offers a series of open enrollment programs at FEI's Charlottesville, Virginia campus.

Executive Coaching is a key focus of our Custom and Consulting services. As a Federal executive today, you face unprecedented challenges in leading your organization effectively in an environment of escalating change and complexity. Executive Coaching is a valuable tool, increasingly relied on by private sector organizations, to support you and your team and enhance your current and future effectiveness in their organizations.

Our executive coaches work in partnership with you, or your senior team, for a sustained period of time. They help identify your developmental goals and pursue a plan for achieving those goals. They support teams by helping members focus on group processes and functions as well as individual issues. Executive Coaching is voluntary, confidential, and tailored to the expectations and schedules of individual executives and teams.

FEI offers a choice of executive coaches who have the range of experience, personal qualities, and organizational knowledge to help you meet your developmental goals. You can learn how to apply these techniques yourself in our Coaching Skills for Federal Executives program.

Four of our new open enrollment offerings focus on improving your effectiveness by helping you understand the linkages and boundaries defining your organizations. These programs help you make the most of your ability to work together in the new configurations demanded by the people you serve. Leading in the Virtual Work Environment and Collaborating Across Organizational Boundaries focus on situations in which team members work in different locations or for different organizations. Territorial Games: Understanding and Ending Turf Wars at Work and The Power of Knowledge Management: Sharing Information to Improve Performance help you look beyond traditional boundaries and approaches to information and find ways to improve the ways you do business.

CEL programs are designed to help you by developing a continuous learning relationship that will improve your organization's success and enhance your personal leadership skills. Contact Donna Sweeney, our Registrar, at (434) 980-6200, cel@opm.gov).

A Message from the
Director of the United States Office of Personnel Management

Recent events have dramatically reshaped our world. We have refocused priorities and have a new sense of urgency for getting results from Government. We are fighting a war against terrorism. Everything we do as public servants has taken on added meaning and added significance.

Meeting these challenges means reshaping Government. The President has provided aggressive leadership to transform the Federal Government. He has put forth his vision of Government reform, guided by three principles: Government should be citizen-centered (customer-focused), results-oriented, and market-based.

The programs and seminars offered at the Federal Executive Institute and the Management Development Centers support this vision. Our Core Leadership Curriculum and the other programs depicted in The Leadership Journey are specifically designed to effectively serve the President, the Presidency, and the American people.

I am very pleased to announce OPM is offering an integrated curriculum to support the President’s Management Agenda and its five cross-cutting governmentwide initiatives:

  • Strategic Management of Human Capital
  • Competitive Sourcing
  • Improved Financial Performance
  • Expanded Electronic Government (e-Government)
  • Budget and Performance Integration

There is really only one way to transform Government and that is through people. You, the current and potential leaders of your agency, are the people responsible for the day-to-day actions needed to create that citizen-centered, results-oriented, and market-based Government. Without you, we will not be able to deliver the results the President has promised the American people, the results we need to keep our nation safe and prosperous in the 21st Century. Meeting these objectives will require teamwork in every agency and department. To be successful, we must be working together toward this common goal. One team, one fight, one victory!

The seminars and programs described in this FY 2004 catalog are designed to provide you with the best practices and essential tools to help your agency get the results necessary to achieve our vision and “get to green” on the five initiatives in the President’s Management Agenda.

President Bush said in introducing his management agenda, “good beginnings are not the measure of success. What matters in the end is completion. Performance. Results.”

I encourage you to come to the Federal Executive Institute and the Management Development Centers. By taking back what you learn to your agencies and applying it to producing real results for the American people we will fulfill our promise, “Great Leaders for Great Government.”

Kay Coles James
Director, United States Office of Personnel Management
