Mr. was briefed on the general organization and content
of IWA and, in turn, briefed Mr. on the main points of
the :message to be conveyed re Records Management. The
required presentation is scheduled tentatively for 27 July in the
afternoon. Messrs. will work out changes
in scheduling if they become necessary.
3. "Leadership Principles"
Two lengthy sessions so far have not advanced us significantly
in our efforts to determine which "principles" are most likely
to be the ones in which our senior officers are interested. The

material which we have collected tends to break down under
close analysis and leave us with descriptive terms and kinds
of behavior. Interestingly enough, this is just about the point
at which Dr. Cribbin arrived in his book, "Effective Managerial
Leadership". Nonetheless, we have every intention of plowing
ahead in the hope of arriving at some sort of compilation which
can be offered as "principles" without stirring up too much of a
semantic hornet's nest.
4. In General
DDTR emphasized the following by way of guidance to our overall
efforts:
A. Tasks for SUS/MT
(1)
Decide what "packages" of management training
should be developed.
(2) Develop the "content" of the various "packages".
(3) Get the "packages" reviewed and approved by
"Agency people" (unspecified).
(4) Determine what kind of help (additional personnel)
is needed by MTF to present the various "packages".
B. Sources of additional personnel
(1) "Inside"
a. OTR careerists (the pickings seem rather slim
in terms of the probable requirements).
b. Other DDS careerists (the DDTR will discuss
this with Mr. Wattles, emphasizing our desire
for a "good and experienced" manager at the

GS-13/14/15 levels) who could be assigned to
OTR on rotation or, if necessary, picked up
by the ST service.
co Careerists from other Directorates assigned
temporarily to OTR (similar to the Directorate
specialists connected with the Senior Seminar
at present).
(2) "Outside"
a, Someone with "credentials" as a practitioner
and teaches who would like to work with us
on contract for a year.
b. An individual especially recruited as a staff
employee and an ST careerist to be assigned
to MTF.
c. Because of the objections to and shortcomings
of "outside consultants", we are not to approach
anyone of this kind for the purpose of having our
"packages" designed for us. We may use
prominent outsiders to lecture or to conduct a
segment of the final package, however.
5. Other Activity
25X1A
