TITLE Basic Supervision
OBJECTIVE Effective management at the level of the first-
line supervisor
PREREQUISITES Top Secret clearance
Grade 5 through Grade 14
Present or anticipated supervisory assignment
ENROLLMENT 8 to 18
DURATION Two weeks - 4 hours each morning (40 hours), plus
approximately 10 hours unclassified reading
outside scheduled class time
LOCATION Headquarters
The course is for persons from all major components at all levels
through Grade 14 who are directly responsible for personnel at the first
working level. The course assumes that most students are carrying their
own production workload, and that supervisory responsibilities are in
addition to, and not in place of, their substantive, technical or produc-
tion assignments. In dealing with problems of the supervisor, the course
places chief emphasis on the problems of person-to-person relationships,
training, communication, leadership and discipline. (This is a relatively
heavier emphasis than in Basic Management.) Selected aspects of organi-
zation, planning and control are also dealt with briefly.
Each successive course is offered to a specified group, for example,
Grades 9-12, so that supervisors of a given general level of responsi-
bility work together and so that the specific course content can be
adjusted to the needs and capacity of the participants.
The course content includes: reading, lectures, and group discus-
sions of problem cases. Through these means students are guided in
applying basic principles of sound management to the situations in which
they are working.

PREREQUISITES Top Secret clearance
Grade 11 through Grade 15
ENROLLMENT 8 to 20
DURATION Two weeks - 4 hours each morning (40 hours), plus
5 to 10 hours of unclassified reading outside
scheduled class time
LOCATION Headquarters
The course is aimed primarily at the level of the branch chief, but
is open to personnel above and below that level. Each successive course
is offered to a specified. group, for example, Grade 12 through Grade 14,
so that supervisors of a given general level of responsibility work
together. Students in the course are assumed to have at least one lower
echelon of supervisors under their direction; for example, section heads.
It is presumed that substantially, full time on the job is spent in
management activities (planning, directing, coordinating and controlling),
rather than in direct substantive work. The course covers elements of
management which are common to middle levels in and 25X1A2g
The course contains the following major elements: (1) a highly
generalized job analysis of middle management responsibilities in the
organization; (2) a limited amount of general doctrine current in the
field of management; (3) discussion of specific management techniques in
use in components of the organization; and (4) group analysis of
problem situations and of case histories.
At every point the course emphasizes the student's responsibility
for translating his own background of experience and the information
exchanged in the course into the terms and problems of his current job
assignment. He is encouraged to define his problems as specifically as
possible, to select a line of attack, and to undertake his own solutions.
The 40 hours of the course span two weeks in half-day sessions, so that
participants may maintain daily contact with their offices and apply ideas
of the classroom to the job situation.
