Bolden Overhauls NASA Organization, Space News
"NASA field center directors and mission directorate chiefs will report directly to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden under organizational changes Bolden announced Feb. 23 in a memo to senior agency officials. The heads of NASA's 10 regional field centers and four headquarters-based mission directorates currently report to NASA Associate Administrator Chris Scolese, the agency's third-highest-ranking official. That reporting structure was put in place by Bolden's predecessor, Mike Griffin."
NASA Chief Bolden reorganizes his space agency (includes memo excerpts with other changes), Orlando Sentinel
"Associate Administrator: The Associate Administrator will continue to be responsible for integrating the technical and programmatic elements ofthe Agency. However, Center Directors and Mission Directorate Associate Administrators will report directly to the Administrator rather than through the Associate Administrator. No other changes are being made in the Office of the Administrator."
By my count that's at least 17 additional direct reports. Either the man is super human or these guys just got a whole lot more autonomy and/or he is expecting genuine team work from a level which, in most organizations is occupied by some seriously self-motivated people.
I'm not saying it can't be done, but I would love to be a fly on the wall at his management meetings. This surely cannot last.
