Did you know? Performance plans for supervisors/managers must include the Mandatory Supervisory/Managerial Critical Element #1, which addresses the level of performance expected for carrying out supervisory duties. This helps outline your role as a supervisor, holds you to a standard of supervision, and helps get you credit for the work you do leading your team.

This framework helps you develop your skills as a supervisor and manager - whether you're already in the role or hope to be someday.

Pulse surveys are intentionally designed to provide quick, actionable insights into the health of a park or program, hence the name ‘pulse.’

Now that you’ve had the powerful conversations with the people who work in your program or park, it’s time to distill it all down to a vision. In this phase of the process, you’ll compile and edit the shared values and key actions that rose to the surface during the workshops. You’ll also begin the work of communicating these new commitments.

Use this toolkit to help host structured conversations with your team members; the conversation prompts and facilitation resources can help you create an environment of respect, inclusion, and safety.​ 

Strategic planning can offer renewed focus and a chance to chart a new path. During uncertain times it can feel hard to set aside the time to reflect and plan. It is precisely these times when intentional action is most needed to focus energy and effort.
