Recommendation for Quality Step Increase--
25X1 1. is recommended for a Quality Step Increase in
recognition of his sustained superior rf. -nce during the period
25X1 8 July 1986 to 20 November 1987. an Office of Soviet
Analysis careerist on rotation to S , is a GS-15, step 7
Instructor-Admin Chief occupying a GS-15 position as Chief, Management
Training Branch, Leadership Development Division, OTE.
25X1 2. performance as Chief, Management Training Branch (MTB)
has been exceptional. MTB under his leadership has made a unique
contribution to the Central Intelligence Agency by revitalizing the
Agency's management training program. In large part due to his effort,
we now have a management training effort that has won the endorsement not
only of senior Agency management but of our best and brightest new
managers.
25X1 3. Under direction, MTB organized and conducted an
extensive assessment of management training needs in the Agency,
25X1 involving working level and senior Agency managers. He
personally ira e the Managing in CIA program plan which won the
endorsement of the DDCI, the Executive Director and the Agency Training
Steering Group. For the first time in the history of CIA, our management
training program has the full support and backing of senior Agency
management.
4. A key element in the new program has been the introduction of two
new courses for first-line Agency supervisors, 'Managing in CIA" and
25X1 "Leading People in CIA." Under guidance MTB designed,
tested, revised and implemented the courses in the winter of 1986-87.
Utilizing his experience as an AQencv line manager and his service on the
25X1 Inspector General's staff, ensured that the courses are
characterized by relevance to Agency management concerns and Agency
management involvement. They are fast paced, demanding and challenging,

and employ new, innovative instructional approaches. The courses have
received the enthusiastic accolades of virtually every student who has
attended and have justified fully the decision by the Agency Training
Steering Group to make them mandatory for all new Agency supervisors.
25X1 4. Under direction, MIT has continued to implement new
breakthroughs in our management training effort. This has included
development and production of a tailored version of Managing and Leading
for our junior supervisors and development of a version of the Managing
and Leading program for our overseas officers. This latter program has
already been run in the US and in December 1987 will be taken overseas;
the first time CIA has offered management training for our field
personnel. The branch has also developed an Electives for Managers
program, featuring a menu of advanced management courses which
25X1 experienced supervisors can take depending on their needs.
has taken the lead in vigorously marketing the Managing in CIA program
throughout the Agency. He has done all this while maintaining the
quality of existing MTB programs such as the "Program on Creative
Management" and "Looking Glass Inc." and responding to numerous ad hoc
requests including support to the Human Resources Modernization and
Compensation Task Force.
25X1 S. has worked to ensure that the Agency management
training program has focus, relevance and quality. He has transmitted
his energy and enthusiasm to members of his branch, which before his
arrival was disorganized and confused. He has molded a staff of
professional trainers, managers and consultants who are committed and
dedicated to the Managing in CIA program and has successfully enlisted
the support of Agency managers, who are now actively participating in the
25X1 classroom. Not content to just manage this effort, leads by
example, participating actively in the classroom in order to ensure
relevance and quality. His personal dedication and commitment to the
program have involved uncounted amounts of uncompensated overtime and the
surrender of many hours annual leave. Under his leadership, MTB has
turned in a performance that has significantly exceeded the norm and
truly produced quality training that counts.
25X1 6. In view of excellent performance and with the
conviction that this level of performance will continue in the future, I
recommend that he be granted a Quality Step Increase.
