our physical environment and the likelihood that crime will
take place there. This one day interactive workshop will

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.
Performance Measures: What Counts Workshop
While
performance measurement is a tool used by most local
government organizations, the common understanding necessary
to make measuring meaningful throughout the organization is
still lacking. Finding meaningful measures that are geared
at the service level can seem like a daunting task. This
one-day workshop is designed to help supervisors to
translate an organization's performance measurement system
into meaningful action.
This workshop will assist the performance measurement novice
to be able to speak the language of measurement and
understand the reasons the organization needs measuring in
order to effectively plan and implement organizational
goals. The end result being a deeper understanding of how
each service area is tied to the overall success of the
government as an organization.
For
more information contact your
Regional Director.
This workshop can be brought to you. Learn more by clicking

path of figuring out what to do to combat it.
Join us to look at how to ensure the continued effective
performance of your organization by establishing a process
to develop and replace key staff over time. This
workshop can be brought to you. Learn more by clicking the
