Developing the Whole Person: An NGA Acquisition Contracts Office Priority
Ernie Moore authored Developing the Whole Person: An NGA Acquisition Contracts Office Priority that is published in the July 2009 issue of Contract Management Magazine. The article addresses a model that Ernie developed at the request of one of his clients. The model clearly identifies the career path and development expectations for contracting specialists (1102 career field). The model highlights the "Five Vector" approach showing career development expectations along five continuums--Performance, Qualifications and Certifications, Leadership, Personal Attributes, and Organization Development. Each continuum addresses steps that contract specialists should take as they gain experience and grow professionally. The beauty of the model is that it can be adapted to fit any career area.
