SUBJECT: Management Course, 25 through 30 October 1964
I would like to nominate Mr. Assistant
General Counsel, GS-15, for the Management Course to be held at
from 25 through 30 October 1964.
Performance of his duties has been
of a high order, and he has had a broad exposure to Agency opera-
tions overseas. It would seem to me that it would be very worth-
while for him to be exposed to such a course now that he will be
concerned with legal matters on a broader base throughout the
Agency.

SUBJECT : Senior Management Seminar
1. In May 1964 the Agency offered for the first time a new te
of management seminar for senior officials. This Seminar at 25X1
presented under the auspices of the Office of Training, was attended
by seventeen GS-15 and eighteen supergrade employees representing
all major component s of the Agency. The one-week program was con-
ducted b 25X1
New York City.
2. In view of the positive response to the May Seminar by those
who partici ated a second presentation has been arranged to take place
at l during the period 25-30 October 1964.
3. The seminar as developed by Mr.I and his associates is 25X1
designed to improve the individual manager's effectiveness as a member
and as a leader of a management team. It will assist him in identifying
and analyzing his leadership behavior and in developing improved approaches.
It will provide him with specific techniques for improving group effec-
tiveness and for overcoming obstacles to decisive group action.
4. Much of the material in this program Is based on a new approach
to management as developed by Dr. Robert Blake of the University of Texas.
This is the so-called "Managerial Grid" approach which Is currently
attracting much attention in management training and consulting circles.
The program emphasizes active learning and departs considerably from the
usual training methods. Agency experience with the Managerial Grid to
date shows It to be highly Interesting and rewarding.
5. As in the past it is considered desirable to establish regis-
tration quotas for major components of the Agency to Insure agency-wide
