CalHR has created a new Statewide Leadership Development Model that establishes a consistent and comprehensive framework for progressively developing state leaders.
Mandated Leadership Training and Development
In June, 2016, Governor Brown signed SB 848 (Statues 2016, Chapter 35) which mandated additional training for newly appointed managers and career executive assignments (CEA), as well as continual leadership training and development for supervisors, managers, and CEAs. Training and development requirements can be found in
GC §19995.4.
All leadership training, whether provided internally or outsourced, is designed to develop participant knowledge, skills and abilities that allow them to demonstrate behaviors that support the philosophy, values and competencies of the
Statewide Leadership Development Model. Leadership development programs should support the workforce and succession plans for each department.
California Leadership Academy
The California Leadership Academy provides foundational training for supervisors, managers, and executives in state service. This training covers the mandatory additional training for newly appointed supervisors and managers. Training programs for newly appointed CEAs and continual leadership training and development programs will be offered soon.
