NMATHE Leadership Development Organization Creating Leadership Opportunities together

NMA…THE Leadership Development Organization Creating Leadership Opportunities… together

What is NMA? A not-for-profit, professional association where people: l l Learn to work together in a global economy Understand the attributes of great leadership Develop their leadership competencies Appreciate the power of interpersonal communication when coupled with technology

NMA’s objective. . . l To utilize our unique chapter-based concept to provide a different kind of leadership development experience

How? l By supporting your already ongoing employee development initiatives… l and providing the “experiential” piece that allows people to grow and feel ownership in their own development.

Based on what? l People perform best when they are “engaged”… l People CHOOSE to be engaged based upon how they “feel” about their colleagues and their employer… l NMA chapters play a key role in helping people feel that they are part of a team.

And we all know… Businesses grow when employees are innovative and creative. Only happy, challenged, and engaged employees are innovative and creative. NMA Leadership Development Chapters foster the environment that makes it all come together!!!

NMA chapters… l Foster interpersonal connections… that lead to collaboration and cooperation… which builds trust l Support a collegial atmosphere that breeds creativity l Assist in unleashing talent and nurturing innovation l l Showcase their ROI when that innovation bolsters the bottom line

The NMA connection… l NMA Chapters help employees become invested…in the chapter…in the organization…in the culture…and in their personal and professional work lives. l When people “feel” opportunities, they can choose to become ENGAGED – committed to one another and to the mission. l Engaged employees “give it their all”.

The NMA connection… l Employees connect with one another l The chapter links ongoing learning to HR initiatives l The organization is “seen” in the community

Thus… An NMA chapter is your PARTNER in creating the culture and conditions that make an employee WANT to contribute!

Chapter/Organization Interface • The chapter serves three customers: 3 Chapter Members 3 Executive 3 Human Management Resource/Training Department

NMA chapters. . . u u Provide opportunities to reinforce organizational cultures Build networks both internally and externally, in each company… and across all the business areas

Our leadership associations. . . u Increase communication between and among operating units u Provide real opportunities to practice teamwork and reinforce teambuilding

And they. . . u Build community support for the base through American Enterprise and youth & civic activities u Support company, contractor, and other training & development programs with additional costeffective activities

NMA chapters. . . u Create their own “niche” for helping reduce stress brought about by ongoing change u Become “change agent” vehicles in order to help people survive and grow

A continuous learning environment. . . u Reinforces the concept of lifelong learning and gives additional choices for improving oneself u Allows people to voluntarily assume new responsibility for their own growth and development

For executive management, the chapters provide. . . l Opportunities to share their vision with key personnel on a regular basis l Networking opportunities with a broad base of employees to maintain the pulse of the community l A chance to observe people (members and chapter leaders) in situations outside their normal workplace environment… and observe their unique skills and talents l A place where people feel pride in their work

And in return for that support. . . l Employees feel increasingly valued and appreciated l They see executive leadership “walking the talk” l Everyone “feels” part of the same team, whether military, civilian, contractor, etc. l New employees are integrated into the organization much more quickly via NMA programs and activities

Some “personal” benefits… • NMA chapter newsletters • Webinars, individualized e-learning • Group/classroom leadership courses and programs • Chapter meetings with speakers and leadership facilitators • NEW NMA “Career Counseling Catalog” to ease transitioning workers • Awards and certificates programs to recognize achievements

Through NMA, members can also • Participate in NMA LEADS… the association world’s FIRST online assessment and Leadership Evaluation & Development System • Receive CEU for chapter-conducted training • Become “Certified Managers” through our partnership with ICPM…The Institute for Certified Professional Managers

Practicing leadership skills… • People demonstrate traits and abilities not fully utilized in their current assignments. • Employees “experience” leadership via being active in the chapter in a “safe environment”. • Chapter leaders grow and transfer new skills back to the workplace • The organization more fully develops its bench strength and people become ready to handle new duties and responsibilities when the need arises.

NMA and YOU -- It’s all about developing leaders and helping them stay “engaged” and “career resilient”… and recognizing that NMA can be your partner in that endeavor.
