Management Academy

Management & Leadership Skills Workshop

The Need

Public retirement systems offer management challenges far different than those found in either the private sector or other government settings. But training to fill this unique need is not readily available.

The Solution

The CALAPRS Board of Directors is pleased to offer the annual Management/Leadership Academy. The Academy is for mid-level managers in larger systems and supervisors in smaller systems. The ideal candidate is a retirement system subordinate manager or supervisor with a couple of years of experience leading a team in benefits, accounting, investments, or administrative aspects of your public retirement system.

The CALAPRS Board of Directors has contracted with The Centre for Organization Effectiveness based in San Diego to present the course. The Centre has the best approach and training resources to give Academy participants outstanding training and exposure to enterprise management, problem solving, leadership and a feedback component in the retirement system context.

The Academy is held in three modules including a total of 8 days. Participants must attend all three modules in full in order to graduate from the Academy.

Session topics include:

Being an Effective Leader
Emotional Intelligence
Leading with Strengths
360 Survey Feedback
Effective Influence Skills
Multigenerational Workforce Issues
Constructive Conflict
Ethical Decision-Making
Leading Change
Performance Management
Customer Service Focus
Decision Making & Involvement
