Pre-Supervisory Leadership

The path to becoming a top-notch leader is one that requires constant attention and fine-tuning, whether we are preparing to lead small groups, large teams, or simply preparing for the next steps in a leadership role.   Useful tools and tips are available in a plethora of subjects relating to the important roles of Supervisor and Pre-Supervisor. 

OPM presents: “Difficult Conversations for Supervisors”

This online and interactive course is intended to support the requirements in 5 CFR 412.202, allowing new and current supervisors to explore different ways to conduct those “difficult conversations” with their employees.  Supervisors will learn various techniques and tools to facilitate effective discussions of sensitive nature with subordinates, and to practice in a safe and risk-free environment. 

This course is available to all agencies at no cost.  Agency staff may upload the course to their Learning Management Systems from our Shared Courses Wiki page located under OPM Training and Development.  OPM's Training & Executive Development team has recently launched this fantastic and new interactive online course designed to allow participants the ability to practice as if having an actual conversation with an employee - virtually.  It is cutting-edge technology that will benefit any supervisor or manager in developing the necessary skills required to facilitate those challenging, sensitive, and necessary conversations.

Mentoring
can be a truly effective means of not only assisting in guiding a co-worker or colleague, but can also serve to teach the mentor a variety of skills.  It gives the mentor the opportunity to lead by example, by providing guidance, and by holding the mentee accountable in helping them to stay committed to their goals.  A mentee benefits by being able to address concerns regarding their professional development one-on-one in a collaborative setting.  All of these can be powerful self-teaching, developmental to tools em to benefit employees in performing on-the-job, as well as in developing one's career.
