The Lead program focuses on the ability to coach, mentor and train others while learning the strategies and approaches to leadership. There are three components to the Lead program. 

Lead from Every Level

This program is designed for non-supervisory employees seeking to gain skills, knowledge and confidence to lead in their current role while preparing for future opportunities.

Lead Tempe

Tempe's foundational supervisor program offers a wide range of information and resources to help supervisors grow as leaders. Through project-based learning inside and outside the classroom, supervisors will gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to lead in the new world of work. 

Lead Essentials

Employees can also build skills by taking any number of the individual classes offered in the Lead Essentials program. Topics include coaching, performance management, change management and more!

"Lead Tempe not only provided a strong foundation for understanding the innerworkings and expectations of the City but also allowed time to meet and work with coworkers that I would have not otherwise met. It is refreshing to work for a place that truly values employees. - Tempe Center for the Arts Box Office Coordinator
