Professional services of a consultant to develop and administer two part-time leadership/management development programs. The first program is a Tier 2 program targeting employees who typically come from a variety of career fields including science, engineering, trades and administration, and who are mostly at early or mid-career (GS-9 through GS-12). The second program is a Tier 3 or Executive Leadership Development Program targeting supervisors and managers typically at the GS-13 or GS-14 level or wage grade equivalent. Only one program will be run per year. The specific program to be run during the base and 4 option years will be determined by the Corps of Engineers. The number of participants in each program will vary, but will typically be 8 to 12. The overall objective of the Tier 2 program is to help these employees become self aware and to learn, grow, and develop into effective leaders/managers within the Corps of Engineers, and the St. Paul District in particular. The Tier 3 program focuses on individuals understanding and applying skills as current leaders that promote self awareness and accountability, while challenging their comfort zones to lead people successfully in a complex environment.
