f?/I-h LEAGUE LAUNCHES NEW ONLINE TRAINING MODULE "Performance Coaching and Leadership" is a brand new interactive training module recently unveiled by the League of California Cities' LeaguE Campus. The theme of this interactive training module is developing others through effective performance coaching while accomplishing your city's mission and goals. You will learn about new roles and techniques to create optimal workplace environ- ments where employees are treated as partners - with responsibility to achieve the goals and objec- tives of the city. Achieving honest commitment and a sense of enthusiasm among employees does not happen by accident. But imagine an organization where employees feel valued, empowered and important. Who wins - both employees and the organization! This training module will focus on: Creating a work environment that supports employee retention Providing opportunities for employees who are not high performers to become high performers Making a connection for employees between the work they do everyday and the goals and mission of your city There are seven mini series' within this training module that deal with specific performance coach- ing and leadership topics - New Employee Orienta- tion, Performance Measures, Effective Communica- tion, Performance Goals and Action Plans, Delega- tion and Decision Making, Corrective Action, and New Leadership Roles. Each series contains printable handouts and ends with a quiz to test comprehension. When you have completed each of the seven topic series, you will be instructed to proceed to the post test where you will have the opportunity to go back and review sections pertinent to any missed questions.

PAGE 2 - PRIORITY FOCUS October 28, 2005 - Issue #42 INDIAN GAMING from page 1 . . . . . . . . The first of its kind, the forum was arranged to discuss how local and tribal governments can better work together to fulfill common goals, and featured in-depth discussions on tribal sover- eignty, public safety and memorandums of under- standing, and a presentation by George Skibine, acting deputy assistant secretary, Indian Affairs Policy and Economic Development, U.S. Depart- ment of the Interior. In addition, City of Indio Police Chief Brad Ramos provided an overview of public safety enforcement issues and stressed the importance of working in partnership with local tribes. Those attending of the event consisted of officials from local and tribal governments, law enforcement, water, parks and transportation agencies, state and legislative departments, and business and labor groups. Due to the popularity of the forum, organizers are already considering holding a similar event in the future. Event organizers and participants noted that the forum marked a new chapter in local/tribal government relations as the four sponsoring groups worked together to share experiences and overcome differences. "We need to look into the future and find a better way to form an enduring partnership be- tween local governments and tribal governments- that's what this forum is about," said Paula Lorenzo, chairwoman of the Rumsey Band of Wintun Indians and chairwoman of the California Tribal Business Alliance, in a statement. "We look forward to working with the people of California to provide a better future for all."
