Key Program Components
Home Groups
Through this experience, you will meet in Home Groups: small groups of 6-8 participants who are at similar points in their careers as managers and occupy similar roles at the Lab. This small group experience will allow you to check in, mentor one another, and share best practices. Your home group will be led by one of our trained facilitators to guide you through the experience.
Management Challenge
During the Summit, you will be asked to workshop a team-based challenge that you are facing as a manager. Therefore, prior to the event, you should select a personal management challenge to work on. Choose one that:
Is specific, defined, and something you are passionate about and feel an urgency around solving
Is related to your own performance management goals as a manager
Is a situation/scenario that is "alive" within the next 6 months and is relevant to you and your team
Is a situation that you have direct influence over and ability to track progress
Is in your stretch zone - something you can’t easily solve on your own
Workshops & Keynotes
Throughout the Stewardship Summit experience---from the 2.5 day kickoff, to the home group sessions and management practicums, to the reunion/graduation--- participants will engage in a mix of workshops and keynotes to learn a core set of management tools and practices that enable successful stewardship at Berkeley Lab, within the DOE complex, and beyond. Some keynotes will be tailored to different career development stages, but will be accessible and valuable to all participants. See About for examples of potential keynote speakers and workshop facilitators.
Management Practicums
Management Practicums are 2-hour, highly-interactive sessions designed to help participants put frameworks or tools introduced during the Stewardship Summit into action and apply them to real-world LBNL management challenges. These will also provide additional opportunities to receive peer coaching and feedback. The monthly Management Practicums follow the Stewardship Learning Journey cycle (i.e., self development in February, team development in March, community development in April, etc.).
