The courses are designed to elevate employees’ leadership capabilities.

The Postal Service’s Executive and Administrative Schedule (EAS) employees can once again nominate themselves to attend courses through the Center for Creative Leadership, a provider of leadership development and research.

The courses, which are designed to elevate the leadership capabilities of mid-level managers, will be fully virtual and led by instructors.

The lineup includes the return of two popular titles and four new additions:

• Creating Accountability, a new course recommended for EAS-18 to EAS-21 employees;

• Delegating Effectively, a new course recommended for EAS-18 to EAS-21 employees;

• Team Effectiveness, a new course recommended for EAS-22 to pay band employees;

• Strategic Leadership, a new course recommended for EAS-23 to pay band employees;

• Better Conversations Every Day, recommended for EAS-18 to EAS-23 employees; and

• Lead 4 Success, recommended for EAS-22 to EAS-26 employees.

The new courses are each four hours long.

Employees interested in taking advantage of these classes should have a career conversation with their manager, who must approve participation. Openings are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Self-nomination forms must be submitted no later than Tuesday, Feb. 17.

This will be the last period for EAS employees to self-nominate for the courses this fiscal year.

For more information, employees should contact their local employee development team or email the national training leadership programs team.
