The Director. His participation lent and au h Lri ,,,,,lo the proceedings. Hopefully he can be persuaded to appear in subsequent programs; but in any case it is important that supervisors realize his seriousness of purpose in requesting such a review. b. Colonel White. An excellent statement, reflect- ing his own convictions as to fairness and firmness in supervision as well as his knowledge of management doctrine. However, without weakening the case for "Theory Y", he might have developed a bit more the kinds of situations in which the supervisor has to apply "Theory X". 0 i~ (4 Z F..4 A. 0 r.

The technical responsibilities of supervisors with respect to finance were over- stressed, and it is very probable that supervisors without overseas experience would miss a number of his references. It would be better if more stress his subject was treated too much from the certifying c. Dr. Tietjen. A well-balanced presentation, unexpectedly effective in its philosophical treatment of environment factors. It would be useful to have more specific guida, _.j. wlae. a supervisor should refer an employee for medical review or advice. d. Mr. Fuchs.

Security Office speaker. A good presentation but obviously aimed more at individual employee aware- ness than at supervisory responsibility. If it is to con- tinue as a part of the supervisory reorientation program this emphasis should be changed. f. Mr. Echols. An excellent summary of current regulations and handbooks but overly didactic, impersonal and procedural for the occasion. Here is where the super- visor's leadership and counseling role should be tressed, and the main aspects of his responsibility recapped. g. The Panel. Well handled, and particular4r good in that all questions, good or bad, got a hearing. How- ever, we doubt that it is worth the time and question whether it should be a feature of an Agency-wide program at all levels. A summary by the Director of Personnel of the salient points made during the day probably would suffice. h. Overall. A good program, but should be shortened by including by reference rather than by repeating material which is already in Agency regulatory publications.
