Para. 2, ExDir-Compt Memo dto briefing paper per effort to Action(s) Yet to be Taken Suggested Due Date(s) 13 June 72, sub : Leadership and Executive Develo ent -- Develop specifics in ED integrate overall process in PMMP. ED briefing paper calls for the 4ollowing: ExDir-Compt and Deputy Directors (as designated members of EMRB) to estab- lish ED policy, approve systems for uniform admini- stration, and receive in- formation on results. B. In lieu of formalized indi- vidual career plans, estab- lish Agency system for individualized planning of the developmental needs of executive incumbents (GS-16 and above). Identify per- sonnel (GS-13 and above) with high potential for executive positions. i -~ ~A. Deputies have already discussed ED paper. Later on, they should review results of actions sugges- ted elsewhere in this paper. B. Using the PMMP process, each career service identify turnover during next four years in executive positions. Each career service should define special qualifications needed for effec- tive performance in each executive position. It should identify a suitable number of promising replacements (2 or more) and ascertain specific developmental needs of such individuals. (Those identified in Grades GS-13 and GS-14 should have the judged potential to advance two or more grades and employees in Grades GS-15 and GS-16 should have the potential to advance one or more grades.) Each career service combine proposed executive developmental actions into an Executive Training Inventory and an Executive Developmental Assign- ment Inventory. These Inventories should be kept separately from Developmental Assignment and Training Inventories applicable to other person- nel in the career service. ADMINISTRATIVE - INTERNAL USE ONLY B.

"Since much development is accomplished best on the job, depart- ments and bureaus should have organizational occu- pational mobility programs to support their executive development programs . . . . To gain the benefits of mobility there must be a systematic approach based on individual development plans." C. OP Memo dtd 5 May 72, Mobility and Rotation, recommended actions to meet Federal Guideline and Director's wish to achieve increased mobility of executives and employees across Directorate lines h when in Agency's interest. Actions to be taken 1. Encourage rotation of professionals within or outside career service by requiring each career service to prepare a rotation plan, fo attachment to Career Service Situation Report, required by PMMP; submit to DD concerned. 2. To facilitate systematic arrangement of desired rotational training and assignments, instruct each career service to prepare a model or guide of kinds of desired job and training experiences that generalist and technical officers should generally receive at junior, mid and senior levels. 3. Direct each Career Service Head to annually review actual movement of individual career- ists versus the rotation plan and report on results to DD concerned.

PMMP will con- tribute to but not guarantee success in accomplishing the 1 following: motivating the work force; fully and pro- ductively utilizing people; realizing major management improvements and savings; and uniformly following, in the career services and Directorates, those ap- proaches to personnel management that are desired by senior officials, such as counseling, employee evaluations, employee recog- nition, QSI and honor award administration, and super- visory guidance. Nor will PMMP provide a system for determining whether or not established personnel poli- cies, processes and systems are being adequately carried out throughout the Agency. Although we could refine future surveys in the light of experience gained, responses to the attachment should contribute to the broader Agency effort to increase productivity, especi- ally with regard to the Director's expressed con- cern about the interrelationship between moti- vation of personnel and their productivity (noted in ExDir-Compt Memo dtd 12 Je 72, subj: Evalu- ation and Productivity). It would be helpful also to elicit basic infor- mation about career service activities and pro- gram effectiveness. The Career Service Ques- tionnaire, previously developed by OP, should be used by the OP staff and component personnel officers in building up a basic data base on personnel programs in the career services. This information should then be analyzed by OP pre- liminary to appropriate discussions of basic problems and preferred approaches with the Deputies and the ExDir-Compt. There are a number of elements concerning per- sonnel program effectiveness that could be con- sidered in future deliberations regarding the problem of personnel productivity raised by the ExDir-Compt in his memo to the IG dtd 13 Je 72 on Evaluation and Productivity. They include the following: 1. Possible personnel changes other than increases that would help achieve priority goals and objectives in program call. 2. Possible organizational realignments of per- sonnel that would help achieve priorities.
