Join RGS for our leadership webinar series in April 2024!
To be effective and accomplish their own goals, local government leaders must delegate work to others. This requires careful consideration of what work to delegate to what resources. Once work is assigned, it is critical to give meaningful feedback and resolve any performance problems that may surface.
Our webinar series in April 2024, open to all leadership levels, consists of three 90-minute webinars designed to help leaders master this work cycle to accelerate and expand what their teams can accomplish.
- Webinar 1: Effective Delegation, Wednesday, April 10, 1:00pm – 2:30pm
- Webinar 2: Giving Powerful Feedback, Wednesday, April 17, 1:00pm – 2:30pm
- Webinar 3: Resolving Performance Problems, Wednesday, April 24, 1:00pm – 2:30pm.
RGS webinars are not typical “sit and listen” experiences. They are live, instructor-led courses, with multiple opportunities for interaction, asking questions, and getting feedback on individual situations.

Webinar 2: Delivering Powerful Feedback, Wednesday, April 17, 1:00pm – 2:30pm
One of the most important things leaders do is provide feedback to people that report to them. But leaders often struggle with this task due to apprehension about how feedback will be received.
This course helps leaders re-frame feedback as a powerful tool to deliver information about employee performance and the overall goals of the department and agency. In this course, participants will be able to:
- Recognize when and how often feedback should be given
- Utilize a 5-step process for giving constructive feedback
- Describe specific behaviors or actions and their impact
- De-charge emotional reactions to feedback
- Collaboratively discuss and agree upon solutions to improve performance

Webinar 3: Resolving Performance Problems, Wednesday, April 24, 1:00pm – 2:30pm
Resolving performance issues is a key part of every supervisor’s job, but it can be challenging to know the best way to respond. Performance issues can be caused by variety of factors and often the root cause can be different across employees and situations.
The key is that there is not a “one size fits all” solution. This class provides useful tools to identify the underlying issue and help you set a path to resolve it. Course content includes information to help supervisors:
- Identify their style of resolving performance issues
- Assess and identify the cause of performance problems
- Surface and respond to performance issues in a way that impacts performance
- Stay focused when the cause of the problem may be a moving target
- Understand the importance of documentation
