MEMORANDUM FOR: Colonel White
THROUGH : Mr. Lloyd=
SUBJECT Attached Memo from D/TR re: Fitness
Report
1. The subject memo., an inter-office issuance in
OTR., comes to us for information and retention. I
cannot say that I agree with the idea of not showing
a completed Fitness Report to an individual.; in my own
humble opinion., to fail to do so is an evasion of super-
visory responsibility - one that cannot be compensated
for by certification to any prose having to do with
"shaving discussed strengths and weaknesses with the
rated individual during the latter half of the period
reported on, etc."
2. I realize that this is a controversial topics
but I would rather see the decision to show or not to
show the report left elective rather than to prohibit
it., as Matt has done here. I think a good supervisor
does not expect to be a "pal" to all his people all the
time; the test of supervision seems to me to be his
ability t& advise his people of their performance., good
or bad., and to achieve the results with a minimum of
controversy.
