Your Leadership Journey Starts Here Stepping into a supervisory role is an exciting opportunity, but becoming a great leader does not happen overnight. It is a journey of building skills, gaining confidence, strengthening relationships, and learning how to bring out the best in others. The SCS CPTP Leadership Journey is designed to support newly appointed supervisors every step of the way. A Program Built for Louisiana’s New Supervisors The Leadership Journey is one of four specialized programs in the SCS CPTP Leadership Suite. Tailored for supervisors in Louisiana state government, it equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and abilities essential for success in any supervisory role. The program combines web-based courses, instructor-led training, and focused development opportunities so supervisors can build a strong foundation while connecting learning to the real challenges they face at work. Required for newly appointed supervisors: Leadership Journey is the mandatory supervisory training program for newly appointed classified supervisors in Groups 1 and 2. For employees who are required to complete it, the program will automatically appear on their SuccessFactors Learning Dashboard. Build the Foundation Then Personalize Your Journey Any good journey starts from its foundation. Leadership Journey begins with the basics of supervision, where participants get the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively supervise their employees. However, leadership doesn't come in one size, so the journey becomes more personalized through learning paths. These focused collections of courses allow supervisors to deepen their skills in areas that are most relevant to their role, workplace, and current development needs. During the program, each supervisor selects and completes one course from one learning path to satisfy the program requirement. Additional courses within that path, as well as courses from other paths, provide optional opportunities for continued growth. Agencies may also require specific learning paths for their supervisors. Choose the Path That Fits Your Leadership Needs Leadership Journey learning paths include: • Leading High Turnover Positions • Skills-Based Hiring • Designing Continuous Improvement Initiatives
• Leading with Emotional Intelligence • Coaching and Developing Performance • Decision Making • Driving Vision and Purpose • Conflict Management • Leading Innovation • Building and Supporting Teams
Each path is connected to the Louisiana Leadership Competency Model and supports development across four broad areas: Self, People, Results, and Thought. Supervisors use a learning path assessment to reflect on their current challenges, identify where development could have the greatest impact, and select the path that best supports how
they want to lead. Ready to Begin?
