GovExec Daily: Leadership, Workforce Development and OPM
Eric Katz speaks to OPM's Bahar Niakan about the Center for Leadership Development.
Managing people is often an exercise in constant learning. Especially during a time of upheaval across government, constant development in leadership is a key component of managing people, especially in the federal government. The Office of Personnel Management is one of the places for such development via its Center for Leadership Development, which provides development and education programs for all career levels based on the Executive Core Qualifications.
As part of Government Executive’s State of the Federal Workforce event recently, GovExec reporter and frequent GovExec Daily guest Eric Katz spoke to Bahar Niakan, the Deputy Associate Director at the Center for Leadership Development at OPM. In this episode, they discuss the role of workforce development and modernization in the federal workforce.
