Ask the Chairman!!
by Chairman Selin l'rn hnpressed by the questions rye teen receiving frorn you ney show your interest in and concern about a lot of different subjects, from lersonnel issues to consolidation. You keep the questions cotning, and I'll pmvide the answers, through this colurnn, as quickly as feasible, ne question l'rn answering this tnonth is one that's been raised in several different letters. Als particular letter raises several diflerent issues.
Question:
During your tenure as head of the Agency,you will preside over its most enawire restructuring since its inception, as a significant percentage of the e urrent Senior Executive Service rrtirrs after completing iheir "hlgh three"in January 1993. (utimates run as high as 50 percent.)
You irnplied in your meeting with the staff whenyou fin t heemme Chainnan that you felt the grades at the Agency are too high relative to other Federal agencies. Do you still hold this view? And,ifyou do,is it your latent to enake a conscious effort to reduce the number of Senior Eaeeutives in the Ageney?
la is a widely held perception arnong the staff that a Naval Acaderny backen>und is almost a trquirement for nenfor advancement in the Agency. Doyou feel that this has been correct? If you feelit has been corrret, will/
can you affect the pn> motion process sufficiently that it is no longer true?
I hopeyou understand my reluctance to sign this question. I do smt feel I would have any career left in the Agency if this letter appeared over any signature.
Answer:
First of all I didn't go to the Naval Academy so I don't consider a Naval Academy background a requirernent for a sen, ior position here. We have a hit ofIN,,aval Academy graduates on the staff -- at various levels
- because the Navy's nuclear power program has trained a lot of people, lleyond that, as I hoge I have made clear in everything I've said on the r,ubject, I want to make sure we have the best people in everyjob. I also want to make sure that we have an equal ernployinent opportunity clitnate, where everyone has a fair shot at getting ahead, and I want to strengthen our recrmtmg - particularly when it comes to attracting additional qualified women, Blacks, Ilispanics,and otherrninorities who are under-re I thmk we can affect the recruitruent and prorno' presented in some areas-and at some levels - to ion processes in a way that will make this happen.
As to the other issues you raised, first let me say your estimate of the nurnberof senior managers who may be retiring starting in January 1993 is accurate. In fact, even more are likely to retire in the following few years. Hat is going to present both challenge and opportunity. It's going to be a challenge, lecause there's no question, we are going to te losing sorne very talented people. Finding the right replacements - and replacing the txxty of comorate knowledge that we'll be losing - won't te easy. But it also will give us a good opportunity to take a hard look at our overall organization-including grade structures - to see what adjustments,If any, should be made. As l*ve said to some of you already, a lot of people don't realize how well treated the NRC is, in that we have our full compiernent of Senior Executives, which we need in this highly specialized Agency, flowever, even if we make sorne changes, the anticipated exodus ofsenior staffis going to create an unprecedented number of prornotion opportunities within a relatively short period. Hat should te good news for those at the beginning or middle of their careers.
Finally, I think perceptions are important. I arn determined that everyone here will have equal employment opportunity, based strictly on qualifications, and I would like to think that everyone who works here is free to e xpress an opinion - or ask a question such as you've asked -- without fear of repercussion. I don't like the fact that you
- and others who've written to me anonymously on this and other subjects -- pe ceive otherwise. nose are perceptions I want to change, and I believe that the best way to do this is to ensure that we have a fair recruiting and prornouon environment.
Doyou have a questionforthe Chairman ? Sendit, signed orunsigned, to Ask the Chairman, MailStop l6G15, USNRC, Washington, DC 20555. There 's nospectfic limit on topics, although it isexpectedthat thme submitting queries willexercise goodjudgement andgood taste.
