The Ethics Of Ficer

4. Senior Rater Comments. My comments will amplify the senior rater block check to send a clear message to the board. I will focus on your potential for promotion, schooling, and command three to five years in the future. I will quantify your potential relative to your peers with enumeration (e.g. “#2 of 15 MAJs,” or “#1 of 5 CSMs”) and avoid details that get in the way of clear communication.

The purpose of this paper is to acquaint the readers with an ethical issue with NCOERs that I came across while serving as a First Sergeant. I was appalled to learn that leaders and raters are writing inaccurate and irrelevant NCOERs and making them less effective, because NCOs are not applying themselves. NCOs expect to be evaluated fairly, objectively, and want to be receiving an NCOER that will allow them to excel for further promotion and assignments. An NCO wants to have the faith that their rater is competent enough to give them a proper rating, good or bad, on their

For each competency a member receives a mark between one and seven, seven being the highest. Each competency has a description of expectations on the EER worksheet. In addition, the evaluation sheet has a narrative of performance expectancies for marks two, four, and six (United States Coast Guard, 2011). A member earns the marks two, four, or six when they meet all the criteria for the number. If the member meets some but not all of the criteria, the supervisor shall mark the member one less. Oppositely, the supervisor should mark the member one number higher when a member exceeds the criteria for marks two, four, or six (see Figure

In today's class, we discussed OML, Standardized tests, branch services and how they play a role in the commissioning process. OML is an acronym that stands for Order of Merit list, and is used to rank cadets from the top achiever to under achiever. It is important that cadets know where they stand because it can affect whether they commission or not. Students who go out their way to do really well on tests and are active in school are targets for being number one or at least in the top 10 percent. Standardized tests such as the CLA and MAT both test the individual in skills area of: reasoning, analyzing, critical thinking, problem solving and last writing. Officers are required to have mastered these skills. Also prepping for the test

Functioning as a field training officer for engineers promoting to lieutenant, I evaluate them candidates as they perform the job functions of a lieutenant. Routine functions on administrative aspects of the job and how they manage emergency incidents. A checklist is used to guide the FTOs as they work with the candidates. Items on the list include: work orders for the station and apparatus, time sheet coding, evaluations on firefighters,

If selected for promotion to the position of Sergeant First Class, I would seek to improve upon the practical experience that I have gained during my assignment within the Bureau. It would also allow me to impact the direction of the Office of Professional Standards and on a larger scale the Division to greater degree. I believe my proven work ethic, ability to improvise, and communication skills would allow me to excel in the

These four categories will allow me to gauge the level of involvement of my subordinates and my peers. For an example, I can note my SSgts’ morale by observing their motivation and I can check the level of esprit de corps by observing their respect towards other members. From there, I can use diagnosis to determine my subordinates’ level of commitment against my peers’ Airmen. By comparing my subordinates with my peers’ subordinates, I can gauge the difference in morale and esprit de corps. I can observe discipline and proficiency by witnessing my SSgts interaction with

The United States Air Force has been using the same basic process for performance reports and promotions, with only a few minor changes since their inception 45 years ago. With the manning in the Air Force being the smallest it has been since it’s inception in 1947, the senior leaders want to ensure they are promoting the best performers (Harper, 2014). Since military leaders can give orders that could mean an individuals death and is a hierarchy, it is very important that a leader be the most qualified person in technical and leadership ability. The Air Force uses the Weighted Airmen

The best rating and evaluation system cannot be chosen without first understanding the problems of the old and current systems. The introduction described the four primary reasons why a new rating system may be required. Indeed, all four of the reasons existed in the Air Force and warranted leadership to take a look at implementing a new system. The old system utilized a graphic rating scale, it included a list of traits and raters would judge how an Airman performed according to those traits (Brown 2016). Some of the dissatisfaction with the old system comes from approximately 90% of the enlisted members of the Air Force received the highest possible work performance ratings year after year or as the performance

Performance evaluations are a very important part of a business organization and places promotion and retain ability in the hands of the worker. According to Robbins and Judge,” Evaluations provide input into important decisions such as promotions, transfers, and terminations. Evaluations also identify training and development issues.”(pg.595 2009). There are several different theories and ways to conduct performance evaluations such as behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS), critical incidents, graphic rating scales, Forced comparison, group order rankings and individual ranking. Each of these systems can be used on their own for ranking employee performance but some organizations use a combination of systems.

My coworkers and I cannot do anything without her permission; including using the bathroom. Disciplinary actions are often the resultant for daring to accomplish even the smallest task without obtaining prior permission. It can be something very simple, yet we will get ourselves into big trouble if we dare to do anything without her knowing. We are also not allowed to say anything unless we consult with her first. Many times we are naïve to what is happening in our own office business because she does not want us to get involved in absolutely anything. She picks and chooses what she wants us to do and will tell us exactly how she wants it done.

First and foremost, manager’s needs to ensure leaders are evaluating security personnel based off duty performance. In the military a rank structure exists for many reasons. One driving factor is position and how well each individual performs based off the entire team. For instance, at a certain level all peers at the same rank are trying to set a sound duty performance. Management outlines the performance and each individual will meet, not meet, or possibly exceed standards. This should not be confused with a dog eat dog mentality.

Those who may use the different methods to evaluate the employee’s performance include the immediate supervisor, peers, committees, anonymous subordinates, and a 360-degree feedback, which is all or some of the personnel listed and others outside the organization the employee has direct contact. The simplest method is the graphic rating scale. It lists several job dimensions or traits, competencies, or specific goals, and a range of performance values like below expectations, above average, and role model. The supervisor is the evaluator who then totals the rating for the overall evaluation. For companies who have a number of employees to rate may elect to use the alternation ranking method. During the process, the employees rated are in a list. The staff unknown is crossed out. The dimensions are listed and the best performing employee is mentioned at the top and worst at the bottom, then alternates to the last employee. Similar to the alternation method, is the paired comparison method. Listing all the traits and employees, the rater puts a plus or negative next to the employee who pairs with the trait. The employee with the most plus signs is the highest ranking. The force distribution method may work for some larger companies that can afford to terminate lower ranking employees while others would rather work to build those on the bottom percent up to a higher rate on the
