The Federal Executive Institute (FEI) is the nation’s premier organization for public sector executive education and leadership development. As part of the U.S. Office of Personnel Magement's Center for Leadership Development, FEI provides executive leadership development through world-class academics, an unrivaled learning environment, and an uncompromising commitment to public service. FEI provides educational opportunities for senior government leaders to improve the performance of their organizations. FEI offers the Leadership for a Democratic Society Program (LDS), custom programs, and inter-agency courses. FEI’s programs are designed to develop the capacity of executives to perform effectively as the top leaders of the American civil service. As leaders with responsibility for running the agencies that defend, protect, regulate, and support our nation and its citizens, and for working effectively with each Presidential Administration and its political appointees, Federal executives are unique among managers. Performance is not measured by “bottom line” numbers or market indicators. Stewardship of the public trust requires a clear understanding of the basic values that support the democratic process and literacy in the fundamental documents that express those belief systems. The U.S. Constitution is used as the principal guide in helping you to understand the diverse goals of the government and the citizens you serve. FEI fosters executives who excel in a 21st-century world while remaining connected to the Constitutional principles forged in the 18th century. We invite you to join both worlds at FEI. Through FEI programs, Senior Executive Service and GS-15 executives learn to: -Better serve public in accordance with the U.S. Constitution -Build cross-agency networks with other senior executives -Gain insights to improve leadership performance -Establish a leadership legacy that supports their organization’s mission for years to come.
