New Leader Program

The New Leader Program (NLP) is open to full-time permanent Federal employees in grades GS 7-11 who have just entered leadership positions or have a high potential for leadership, including first-line supervisors, team leaders, project managers, administrative support and members of self-directed work teams. Individuals should be nominated based on their potential and motivation to complete all requirements and participate fully in all components of the 6-month program. The NLP provides a solid training and foundation of team leadership skills, which are enhanced by agency developmental experiences. These experiences make participants more productive assets to their agencies. The NLP focuses on the following competencies: leadership, teaming, customer service, problem-solving, self-direction, flexibility, interpersonal skills, conflict management, decisiveness, written communication, oral communication, and valuing diversity.
