1. Background

The Indian Health Service Office of Environmental Health and Engineering (OEHE) program has identified leadership, management, and personal and technical skills as elements of a competent workforce. In many organizations, individual leadership and team-building skills are highly valued competencies. OEHE has implemented the Leadership and Personal Development (LPD) initiative. The focus of the LPD is to grow leadership competencies to support OEHE’s public health goals.
