MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Chief, Career Management Staff, DDA
Director of Security
SUBJECT: Review of Comparative Evaluation Descriptors
REFERENCE: Memo from AC/CMS/DDA, dated 21 March 1983,
Subject: same
1. The reference was carefully reviewed by senior Security
officers and the following suggestions and comments are offered
for your consideration.
2. The Office of Security strongly supports retaining the
four categories and would suggest changing the language of the
current descriptors along the following lines:
Category I should clearly indicate that the
employee is a true "super star" and is an absolute
certainty in the rater's mind to be on a fast career
track. We agree with the one suggestion to change the
wording "work performance clearly suggests" to "work
performance clearly indicates" a high potential for
rapid career growth.
? Category II should be worded to describe employees
who in Eli rater's mind are capable of successfully
competing for promotion and assignment to positions of
higher responsibilities.
Categorr III should be reserved for employees who
have, i.n ail likelihood, peaked and have realized their
potential. These would be employees who are making
valuable contributions and have no personal or
discipline problems. The wording in Category III
describing individuals capable of performing
successfully at a higher level of responsibility should
be deleted.
