Comments on the Reorientation in
Supervisory Responsibilities - -
9 June 1964
1. As requested by the Executive Assistant to the
Director of Personnel, the following comments on the 9 June
1964 Supervisory Reorientation are submitted :
(a) Mr. Echols' Lecture
The attention given by Mr. Echols to particular per-
sonnel matters (fitness reports) was very deserving of his time.
His recommendations that tardiness and changes in personal
behavior should not be neglected is a problem more supervisors
should meet with a workable solution. The responsibility super -
visors have to their subordinates was presented in a most inter-
esting way. A more serious approach by supervisors to Mr.
Echols' comments would provide the Agency with fewer person-
nel problems.
(b) Dr. Tietjen's Lecture
Dr. Tietjen's manner of presentation was pleasant.
However, the comments at times appeared to be beyond the sub-
ject at hand. Dr. Tietjen's suggestions on the approach to
physical activity were most applicable to many people in the
Agency. I'm sure if personnel adhered to Dr. Tietjen's advice,
the Medical Staff would not have as many medical problems as
they now encounter.
(c) Col. White's Lecture
This presentation was very interesting. The personal
examples given by Col. White kept him in constant contact with
all personnel present. His discussion on being a good listener
was a most worthwhile contribution. Serious work on this par -
ticular phase would create a closer relationship between super-
visor and subordinates. He clearly stated the need for good
supervisors. An excellent presentation.

(d) Panel Discussion
The caliber of personnel used in this discussion was
excellent. It enabled personnel to present their particular prob-
lems and receive a highly intelligent answer. The individuals
who did not submit questions also benefited from this discussion.
2. I believe the supervisory reorientation is one of the most
worthwhile projects undertaken by this Agency during my employ-
ment. With top management desiring better supervisors, the Agency
can do nothing but benefit fro m this program.
