agency sub-unit. Third, Senior Executives that manage 10 or more subordinate employees should
be required to provide in their annual performance narrative, for the Performance Review Board’s
consideration, the rating distribution of subordinate employees and how that rating distribution
reflects the performance of their organization. ..."
