Training Leadership Instructors

Leadership and Cross-Functional Training (LCF) is responsible for training all IRS leadership instructors.

Fundamental Management Skills, Treasury Supervision 101: Leadership is a Choice, Leading Teams, and Frontline Leader Readiness Program rely on an internal leadership instructor cadre subdivided by program. An instructor can be a member of more than one cadre.

Those interested in becoming a leadership instructor apply in response to a solicitation from the Human Capital Office. Selections (nominations) are made by the applicant's operating division following a review and evaluation of the submission (or application).

Membership on the cadre is contingent on meeting certain criteria. Cadre members must:

Have completed Classroom Instructor Training or have equivalent experience;

Be a current manager (at any level) or be a non-bargaining unit employee with significant past management or organization development experience;

Have successfully completed a Leadership Instructor Training session; and

Be certified to instruct a program following a probationary period.

If a non-bargaining unit instructor converts to a bargaining unit position, he/she must be placed in “inactive” status until such time that he/she reverts to non-bargaining unit status.

IRM 6.410.1.3.4.8 provides general training requirements for all IRS instructors.
