This was the first time in almost two years that Leadership Styles
and Behavior (LSO) has been offered. Even after two years, interest in
the course remains high judging from the comments we've received from
Agency managers. For example, one supervisor said his employee would
probably be in a new job upon completion of the course, "...which, I
predict he will do better in having had the experience of the course".
Some managers are using LSO to groom potential supervisors, as indicated
by the comment that LSO is "...intended to in ni e her to this
25X1 challenging discipline (supervision)".
2. MTB ran the seventh Managing in CIA in CY 1988 for an audience of
24 GS-11 and above managers. The group was a particularly challenging
and demanding one, containing many of the professional level managers who
were never impressed by the old Management Development Course. In this
case, however, they gave the program an overall evaluation of 4.5 out of
5 with numerous accolades for the staff, program and content. Much
25X1 credit should go to the instructional team headed by along

The running was also noteworthy because it appears that it has broken
the back of the queue for Managing in CIA, at least in the DI, DST and
DO. This is demonstrated by the testimony of the STOs and the fact that
the initial class roster for the next MCIA run in June contained only
about 10 students from these directorates. Although this is a notable
accomplishment in view of the longstanding inability of OTE to meet the
demand for introductory management training, there are still many
25X1 managers in the DA who are in line for the ouKse.

Although the evaluations of the program were very good, there were
numerous suggestions to make the program even better. In the next run,
in June, we will try better student introductions, more efficient use of
time, and a new segment on utilizing the high performance model with
subordinates. Based on the impact on these changes in the next run, we
will reexamine the recurrent student comment that they wanted more time
for the program.

1. Professor Karen Brooks from the University of Minnesota spoke on
"Land: Soviet Agriculture--The Archilles Heel?" to the Soviet Economy
Block on 19 April. Professor Brooks stated that the main difficulties in
agriculture are the high costs of production and a slowdown since the
early 1970s in the annual growth rate of output. One result is that the
government has been subsidizing food costs by as much as 55-60 billions
of rubles annually and has been forced to import substantial amounts of
grain. Professor Brooks concluded that neither climate nor scientific
backwardness are the main causes of agricultural difficulties but rather
institutional problems--to a large extent the linkage breakdown between
the suppliers (of machinery, fertilizers, etc.) and the farms. Class
participation in this session was very .gh and this was an outstandin

students were from the DI and one was from the DS&T.) The students
rated the course well in meeting its goals of understanding Directorate

opportunity to practice the DI writing style and to give a short oral
briefin . The students particularly appreciated instructor Josef
STAT instruction in the DI's writing style. For the first time in

suggested by the DI 's Intelligence Assistants panel. The project the
panel suggested was drawing up guidelines for mentors to new IAs. Some
