About the Center for Leadership and Management

CLM has developed public servants at every level since 1985, at every grade up to GS 15. Four long-term cohort programs, a 360° assessment built on OPM’s framework, and a senior series for executives who want the refresher and the room.

What CLM does

Our programs are built for a changing workforce, and designed to make participants more effective both as individuals and as contributors to their organizations. Most participants come from the public sector; we welcome professionals of equivalent classification from anywhere.

Long-term leadership development

Four cohort programs covering the full federal career ladder, each with its own theme and centre of gravity. They are not interchangeable, and the right one depends on where the person is now rather than what their grade says.

The Senior Leadership Series

For senior executives at GS 13-15 who want refresher training and, just as importantly, the chance to work through it alongside peers from other agencies.
