The course session length is 32 hours (4-days) and the session sc hedule is as follows: Honolulu, HI, 24-27 February 2004; Virginia Beach, VA, 23-26 March 2004; Huntsville, AL, 13-16 April 2004; and San Diego, CA, 4-7 May 2004. Class size is 27 students. The instruction team shall consist of two instructors present du ring the full 32 hours of instruction. The Government shall provide classroom space, government forms and all training equipment, reproduction/duplication of government training materials. The contractor shall provide all services, personnel, materials ( other than those provided by the Government), A-V aids, travel and lodging for contractor personnel. The course material presented will develop a shared understanding of: (1) The Learning Organization and Leadership for Learning Doctrine; (2) Common language of leadership, for current leaders and those who might want to be leaders; (3) The selection and development of leaders as a ??????Be, Know, Do, Learn process; (4) How leaders understand the context they operate in, the logic for necessary success, and the process for leading organizational change. The Corps?????? intent is to develop leadership at all levels to address current challenges. ??????Leaders at All levels?????? requires a shared understanding of effective leadership; a shared understanding of effective leadership today which is not veste d in position, but is created through interactive, collaborative relationships. This understanding includes why today??????s knowledge and service work requires a particular kind of leadership at all levels of the Corps. This course about effective leadership today helps learners understand their assumptions about leadership as well as the importance of enhancing strengths rather than repairing weaknesses. They will also learn about their own strengths and character as po tential leaders. The course explains the importance of selecting and developing this effective leadership that is required by the challenges, strategic direction, values and vision of the Corps. Based on the Be??????Know??????Do??????Learn Cycle of continuous improvement, learners will understand the elements of improved leadership: character (including talent themes), knowledge, and skills, and the continuous learning leaders need to be effectiv e leading organizations. Many leader development programs today do not distinguish between knowledge, skill or character development, and miss systematic organization learning entirely. This course will focus on understanding the interrelationships betwe en context, logic, character, knowledge, skills, organizational learning, effectiveness, and innovation. Course topics include the Changed Context or the Corps of Engineers, the Learning Organization, Leadership vs. Management, System Thinking, Empowerment, Strategic Leadership, Talents and Strengths, Aligning All Parts of the Corps Culture, Leadership Tools, Operational Leadership, Ss of Culture, Personality Types, The Five Dimensions of Corps Leadership, the Corps??????
