SUBJECT: Deputy Director Support for Executive Seminar
1. As you requested at the last running of the Executive
Seminar, I'm forwarding excerpts from student evaluations relating
to Deputy Director participation and a list of those senior officers
who have participated since we started inviting them. As you will
see in the attached excerpts, the new SISers want very badly to hear
about current priorities and challenges from ADDs or DDs themselves.
2. We recognize that, due to the press of business, there will
be times when neither the DD nor the ADD is available.
Notwithstanding, OTE will continue to make every effort to
accommodate busy schedules in order to secure DD participation in
this important program.

Excerpts from January 1987 Executive Seminar Evaluations
* "The failure of three DDs to address the group made this
objective (understanding Agency policies and direction under
current leadership) impossible to meet. There is a need to
discuss real problems, current concerns and how we are meeting
our goals for the future."
* "It's critical to have DDs' views of executive leadership, their
management perspective and how they bring about change in their
Directorates."
* "DD level commitment needs fixing. If there are very good
reasons for missing, send a qualified substitute. While Agency
stories and lore are interesting, they are not what the DDs or
substitutes should communicate to new SISers."
* "Senior management attention or lack thereof needs fixing."
* "A somewhat universal disappointment of the entire class was the
absence of all but one of the DDs or their deputies. ~11e have
discussed our increased level of responsibilities and have heard
over and over again the need for role modeling for those we
lead, but where were the team captains? To a person, we were
all looking forward to hearing from and having access to our
senior managers, their insights and their respective management
styles."
* "Better DO participation at the DD level is needed even if this
has to be in a separate meeting."
* "In order of importance, (the most important is) presentations
by DDs of their views of executive leadership, their management
perspective, and how they bring about change in their
directorates."
* "The Office chief subs were valuable, but not as subs for the
DDs."
* "I really believe the most beneficial aspect was to hear senior
management articulate their views, values, and concerns. This
is something that is rare to hear and yet absolutely essential,
I believe, to executive development. Mr Donnelly was excellent
as was Mr Huffstutler, and I appreciated the time they gave to
the program."
* "It seems to me that if the DDs are serious about this course
they could participate."
