WHAT IS THE SENIOR MANAGER READINESS PROGRAM?

The Senior Manager Readiness Program offers the opportunity for well qualified individuals to receive structured professional leadership development and experience. During the twenty-four (24) month training and development program, all attendees will be assigned a coach and attend leadership-training classes. In addition, candidates will receive at least one developmental acting assignment and participate in a variety of developmental activities. The goal is to prepare you to compete for future senior manager positions. As a senior manager, you will be responsible for assigning, directing, and reviewing the work of subordinate managers and employees. In this role, you will use your leadership skills and management techniques for planning, scheduling, and coordinating work operations, planning and carrying out the training and development of managers and employees, evaluating work performance, and in performing all other functions related to this level position. Generally, as a Senior Manager, you are a manager of managers and accountable to a Senior Executive Service position and are responsible for the overall effective operation of a program.

While on acting assignments as a Senior Manager you may:

Exercise delegated managerial authority to oversee the overall planning, directing and timely execution of a program, several program segments (each of which is managed through separate subordinate organizational units), or comparable staff functions, including development, assignment, and higher-level clearance of goals and objectives for supervisors or managers of subordinate organizational unit or lower organizational levels.

Approve multi-year and longer-range work plans developed by the supervisors or managers of subordinate organizational units and subsequently manage the overall work to enhance achievement of the goals and objectives.

Oversee the revision of long-range plans, goals and objectives for the work directed.

Manage the development of policy changes in response to changes in levels of appropriations or other legislated changes.

Manage organizational changes throughout the organization directed or major change to the structure and content of the program or program segments directed.
