Why are only some leadership positions targeted (i.e., the field)?
The Executive Resources Council agreed with the Senior Leadership Development Subcommittee’s recommendation to phase in target positions. In this way, TSA had a better chance for an effective program. TSA senior managers determined the most urgent need was in our top-level field positions, which comprise the majority of TSA’s leadership positions. In addition, lessons learned from each phase can be incorporated to improve subsequent phases of the program. In subsequent phases additional positions in both field and headquarters may be targeted.
