The Strategic Planning for Execution: Assessment and Risk (SPEAR) Workshop provides a guided process to support Commanders and their executive teams to develop mission-critical strategic plans, execute those plans effectively, maximize Navy resources, and accurately assess the impact of their plans. Command teams have substantial time during this 3 day workshop to shape their specific planning initiatives with the help of professional facilitators and the expertise of Naval Postgraduate School faculty, who know best-practices and have proven practical experience working with numerous Navy commands, major corporations and other government organizations.

The Navy Senior Leader Seminar (NSLS) provides senior officers (O6/O5), senior civilians (GS-15) and Fleet/Force Command Master Chiefs with an intensive five-day executive education program that introduces the latest "best practices" in strategic planning.

This is a hands-on workshop for people managers who want to improve their leadership and communication skills. The LCMS course is designed to help managers know themselves better, understand and manage the strengths and biases they bring to their workgroups, and develop critical skills for leading others. By the end of the course, participants will create personal leadership development plans incorporating techniques and insights gained. We will focus on what managers can do to create a climate of trust, empowerment, confidence, and commitment.
