ACS Leadership Academy

The NYC Administration for Children's Services believes that, by creating the opportunity for its mid-level leadership to deepen their relationships and understanding of the child welfare system, children and families will be safer and better served.

To that end, in early 2006 after an extensive data gathering process, ACS, in collaboration with LTG and NYU's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, developed a leadership academy.

Working with New York University's Wagner School, LTG has taken the lead in developing, producing and training with a Leadership Academy curriculum that has been seen as second-to-none in the nation.

Credited with transforming people's lives as well as their work, this training converts today's most respected leadership and managerial methodologies into practical yet powerful tools that when used, immediately impact supervisory expertise.

Front line supervisors practice and develop important skills, including effective communication, delegation, time management, evaluating and motivating teams, leadership influence and systems improvement.

The transformative power of this program is derived from our innovative "Leadership from Within" philosophy, and is brought to life through thought provoking discussions, activities and lifework assignments.

Facilitated by best-in-class trainers, this program is consistently rated the "best training program in the history of the organization", and often called "life-changing and powerful" by participants.
