Phase I

Phase II

"Leadership Competencies"
to develop, improve and better utilize your leadership competencies

"Organization Development"
is of critical importance in providing principles & tools to help you successfully facilitate "change" for Riverside County:   to access and diagnose system and personal change, then mobilize a commitment
to a plan of action

Held twice a year --
usually starting around
September & January

Held at least once a year; sometimes twice a year--starting around September and/or January.  Phase II does not have to be taken immediately upon completion of Phase I.

Classes for both Phases consist of 24-30 participants.  The Course is spread over approximately 4 months, classes are 4-1/2 hours in length, occurring about every other week, for a total of 10 sessions for Phase I, and 7 sessions for Phase II. 

Sessions will run from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm [unless otherwise noted
& will be held at the CAC, 4th Floor Annex, Room C [Executive Office Conference Room]

Plus 16 hours of
"Crucial Conversations" Training
to provide skills necessary to conduct successful "conversations" in a way that reinforces mutual respect, and
results in improved decision-making and accountability

To successfully change an organization's culture, strategy, & design requires the understanding that an organization, culture, department, divison or work unit is a system of smaller systems.  You'll learn the basics of managing through systems: the theories, principles, techniques and tools of organization development.

Sessions have been structured to optimize the time participants have with
each other and with guest panelists.  Learning groups of 6 people each will be assigned; as well as, "homework" to be completed for the next session. 

All candidates will be expected to be widely read in all modern management and leadership development literature (homework assignments).

Every session will target a specific variety of the 67 Leadership Competencies.

Session structure resembles an accordion: each one includes a discussion with your learning group about the homework assignment, followed by a "general session", then learning group break out discussions, and a general session report from
each of the learning groups. 

While the Leadership Initiative is totally voluntary, the Design Team is hoping that those who enroll will make every effort to make each session.
