Executive Training, Organizational Development, and EEO/Diversity Training

The Leadership and Management School (LMS) was established to support the development of career leaders and managers in the Department of State and larger foreign affairs community. The Secretary of State has mandated leadership training from mid through senior grade levels to ensure that employees are prepared for increasing levels of responsibility. Through its four divisions, Executive Development, Leadership Training, Crisis Management Training, and Policy Leadership, LMS is responsible for providing this training and more. LMS offers a continuum of leadership and management training intended to develop the leadership abilities of employees from entry level through senior ranks, and provide tailored organizational and other leadership development services to bureaus, offices and missions. This requirement is for executive leadership training, EEO/Diversity awareness training, and coaching and organizational development services.
