Every Federal Agency relies on frontline management to get the job done. Though professional vary greatly across the Federal government, the responsibilities of the frontline supervisor do not. Every Federal supervisor needs to know how to implement an effective human resource and performance management process to achieve high performance. This course delivers the fundamental skills supervisors need to be successful.

This course can be combined with the Supervisory Development Seminar 2 for a two-week immersion experience to expand these fundamentals into a foundation for great leadership.
