The Veterans Affairs (VA) Acquisition Academy’s (VAAA) Contracting Professional School (CPS) is launching the sixth offering of the Senior Acquisition Leadership Training (SALT) program for supervisory-level contracting professionals in October 2023. The program is comprised of virtual and onsite training at VAAA in Frederick, MD over an eight-month period. The initial in-person week will focus on self-awareness and this critical competency will be carried throughout the program. The program design includes a Leadership Emotional Quotient (EQ) 360 assessment tool, including both Emotional Intelligence (EI) scales and subscales, and an Emotional Quotient Inventory 2.0 (EQ-i 2.0) self-assessment tool. The assessment tools must be obtained from Multi-Health Systems, Incorporated (MHS). The student becomes informed about how they see themselves as well as the perspectives of how other stakeholders see them when they review the EQ 360 assessment results through class activities, lecture, and one-on-one coaching activities.
