Re: Performance Management-Subpart D, Setting & Communicating Performance Expections. It states supervisors must establish performance expections. I work at Altus AFB, OK and the policy here is that all first line supervisors be lieutenants. They stay for a year or so and move on. There is no management continuity or team effort within the section. They put a minimum of effort into the supervision of civilians because their military duties take up a large part of their time. I have been here 6 years and have had 9 different officer supervisors. These officers are the most immature, most inexperienced and most unknowledgeable people in the organization but they are in charge. They don't even know what their job expections are let alone their employees. To have junior officers making critical decisions about peoples futures is insane. They shouldn't have junior officers trying to supervise civil service. There is going to have to be some management accountability for NSPS to work and you don't have it now. If they try to implement NSPS with the current management style they are going to have some serious problems.
