Local Government Core Management Skills Seminar

This two day seminar focuses on giving participants new and revolutionary ways of approaching those they serve and supervise. The Core Management Skills seminar deals with leadership in supervising service excellence, leadership to motivate work group members to high performance and skills for efficiently managing quality public services.

The seminar is based on over a decade of research into what local government supervisors want to learn to do their jobs better. Several thousand local government supervisors have completed versions of this course. Don Moore, facilitator of the Local Government Core Management Skills Seminar is coauthor of Trustworthy Leadership and creator of a wide variety of prolific supervisory training for both the public and private sectors. This is a one of a kind opportunity for local governments. Due to the nature of the course, and the constant interaction among participants and facilitator, class sizes are limited.
