Secretary Napolitano established the Leader Development Program Office in May 2010 under the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer in order to elevate the importance of leader effectiveness across DHS as an investment in mission achievement.
Through the dedicated efforts of cross-Component working groups, the DHS Leader Development Program (LDP) was established around a DHS-specific Leader Development Framework and Leader Development Competencies. The Framework (click on image below for more information) identified five levels of DHS leaders – Team Member, Team Lead, Supervisor, Manager, and Executive – and roadmaps for required and best-practice developmental activities at each level. The purpose of the Leader Development Program is to ensure all DHS Components collaborate to support a consistent investment in the development of every leader across the Department.
For additional information on the department level program, please visit the DHS Leader Development Program (Accessible only through Coast Guard workstations) website.
To hear more about the program directly from the Deputy Executive Director of the DHS Leader Development Program, Ms. Lina Savkar, please click on the following link: What is the DHS Leader Development Program? (video runtime: 8:10). Finally, DHS supplies each Component with a monthly “Leadership Matters e-sheet” to continue the leader development discussion, check out the Leadership Matters e-sheet.
The DHS Leader Development Program Framework provides a strategic architecture for enabling an intentional culture and consistent continuum of optimum leader development investment. Find out more by clicking the image above.

The DHS Leader Development Program is pleased to share the Leader Development Learning Café 20/20 series. This series provides real-time and practical development opportunity regardless of the level at which you lead. It is also a great way for DHS supervisory leaders to satisfy part of their DHS Continuous Leader Development annual competency development requirement. Following in the wake of last year's Competency Cafés, this year will focus on you aligning your leadership vision with your leadership actions and decisions.
The Learning Café series is designed for participants to learn from seasoned leaders, practitioners and subject matter experts who engage in dialogue, share practical insights, lessons learned, and tips to enhance leadership competencies. Each 45-minute session will feature a speaker from various Components, a presentation, informal interview-style discussion, with opportunities for participants to engage in Q&A.
No registration required. Grab your afternoon coffee, open your mind, and dial 1-800-670-9648 to participate or attend our live events.
