1. the head of the
org is the
Commanding Officer or Executive
Director. He is usually also the
Product Officer. He is
senior to the
Exec Esto.
(HCO PL 7 Mar 72) 2. the
org is commanded by the
Commanding Officer (SO
orgs) or the Executive
Director (non SO
orgs). In the
triangular system of the
Flag Executive Briefing Course (
FEBC) (
Product-
Org Officer system) the
CO or
ED coordinates the
work of the
Product Officer,
Org Officer and
Executive Esto. In most
orgs the
CO or
ED is also the
Product Officer of the
org which is a double
hat with
CO.
(HCO PL 7 Mar 72) 3. the Executive
Director of an
organization is the
Product Officer of that
organization. He does nothing but think,
eat, breatheproduct. He knows the
valuable final products of the
organization, he demands them. When he doesn't get them he investigates by
data analysis, finds the why' debugs it, writes a
program.
(ESTO -1, 7203COl SO 1) 4. the Executive
Director has products 1, 2, 3, and 4 (
Org Series 10). He is basically when you get it out into a
triangular system, the
Planning Officer. And he is the fellow that the
Product Officer and the
Organizing Officer meet with in
order to plan up what they're going to do and then the
basic team action which occurs, occurs after a
planning action of this
particular character. Where you have the
Product Officer who is also the Executive
Director, he is also the
Planning Officer. He's double
hatted.
(FEBC 12, 7102CO3 SO 11) 5. the
CO or
ED of an
org is responsible for managing the
org and keeping it going.
(LRH ED 153RE INT) 6. there is only one
Exec Director,
LRH, and he is
Exec Dir for
WW and for each
org. There are no
assistant or
deputy Executive Directors. (Orders issued for the
Exec Dir must be approved by the
LRH Communicator as not against
policy and by
HCO Personnel when
personnel is appointed).
(HCO PL 13 Mar 66) 7. the
bulk of the
job of the Executive
Director is getting existing
policy applied and detecting where it isn't being applied,
forecasting slumps, repairing emergencies and keeping
orgs on the increase, and all in such a way as to not add further
upset to the
mess. The Executive
Director hat does not conflict with the International
Org Supervisor hat as the latter is only a portion of the sphere of
responsibility of the former. The Executive
Director deals mainly with
Org/
Assn Sees,
HCO Sees and the
Int Org Supervisor reaches much deeper into
orgs.
(HCO PL 22 Feb 65 111) 8. oversees all
HCO Secretaries,
Organization Secretaries and
