Thought leaders and highly-respected authors bring their expertise and insights to a new podcast series devoted to public sector employees and their unique workplace issues. The series, developed by The Public Manager, is designed to give listeners a deeper understanding of the diverse challenges facing today's public managers and the solutions needed to drive the issues forward.
The Public Manager, a quarterly journal devoted to providing public sector employees leading-edge content and resources, provides this podcast series as an extension of its journal articles, conversations in its online community, and insights gathered from the public managers on the front lines of national, state, and local agencies.
"We know that today's public managers value resources to help them do their jobs better," says Carrie Blustin, publisher of The Public Manager. "We also know that today's managers are time-pressed. This podcast series answers a need - useful, practical content in a format that can be accessed on-the-go."
Two podcasts are now available:
- Preston Tim Brown, manager at Grant Thornton in the Organizational Improvement Practice and discusses his book Making Training Strategic.
- Matt Peters, Chief Learning Officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency and recent keynote speaker at the ASTD Forum Fall Summit, discusses "Workplace Learning and Performance Within the Government. "
Upcoming podcasts will feature Christine L. Rush, assistant professor of public administration discussing her journal article "Implementing the 4-day work week," and Rick Koonce, certified executive coach and consultant discussing, "Executive Coaching, Leadership Development in the Federal Government."
Listen here for a brief preview of the series. More information about the podcast series can be found on the Podcasts from The Public Manager website.
