BLOCK I: THE SENIOR OFFICER AS MANAGER
Block I, conducted in residence, provides an opportunity
for Seminar participants to become acquainted with each other
and with the content and approach followed in the Senior Seminar.
The participants will learn of the Seminar's emphasis on drawing
upon its members' experience in intelligence work, their view-
points and their insights, as the major single resource for their
"learning" in this nine-week period away from office routines.
The first Block points up the role of the senior officer as
manager. The week will concentrate on exercises related to
management skills in the human relations field and on case
studies modeled on problems confronting our senior officers in
managerial positions.
