Upcoming Event: Strategic Planning on Nov. 7

Program Overview

Do you find yourself constantly reacting to other offices' agendas? Do your staff find it difficult to focus their energy to achieve significant accomplishments? Or does your boss keep adding priorities and goals, leaving your team scrambling to keep up, or pose questions about their legacy that leave you quaking in your boots? If so, this session, presented in conjunction with the House Chiefs of Staff Association, is for you!

You will learn how to:

  • Create and select (at most) 5 major strategic goals to pursue in line with your boss mission statement
  • Engage your staff in the overall office goals
  • Develop an implementation plan for your office for the rest of this Congress, and
  • Incorporate the current political environment into your office priorities
