USGS Supervisory Development

The program strives to develop supervisors who…

• believe people are as important as science
• are equipped with a “moral compass” and well-developed leadership skills
• are strong communicators with the ability to promote teamwork, address conflict and give constructive feedback
• know the “rules of engagement” for supervisors at USGS
• are not afraid to make tough decisions and can balance the need to be “Mr. Nice Guy” with the need to protect the integrity of USGS
• routinely hire the right person for the job, communicate clear expectations to their employees, develop their employees’ potential and motivate them to do their best work
• are credible in dealing with the science of USGS
