The Only Constant Is Change
Events over the last several months have made it abundantly clear that effectively managing change is a core competency for leaders at all levels. To be effective, leaders need to be personally adaptive and resilient. They need to be able to articulate a path forward and provide support for their teams. Understanding the organizational system and how to leverage the resources around them is critical.
Join leadership coach, Steve Kullback on July 16 for the NIHTC’s Leading Change workshop. These topics will be discussed along with providing practical strategies for leading change in your work. Coaching is another resource to help you manage change. Visit https://hr.nih.gov/training-center/services/executive-leadership-and-team-coaching for details.
Introduction to the NIH Budget - Updated and Virtual!
The first running of the updated Introduction to the NIH Budget class is July 16-17. This course was revised recently to include an expanded portion on Budget Execution based on expressed needs of the community. Participants will learn everyday NIH business terms, how NIH receives its budget, and be introduced to activities that range from operating budget to hands-on fiscal year-end close outs.
