Senior Executive Service Handbook

Senior Executive Service Handbook. Fedesk Free Federal and Military Handbooks. Fedesk. n.d. Web. 22 June 2010.

Abstract

The Senior Executive Service (SES) was established by the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) of 1978 and became effective in July 1979.  CSRA envisioned a senior executive corps with solid executive expertise, public service values, and a broad perspective of government.  In addition, executives would be held accountable for their performance. 

In creating the SES, CSRA established a distinct personnel system that applies the same executive qualifications requirements to all of its members.  The new system was designed to provide greater agency flexibility for selecting and developing Federal executives within a framework that preserves the larger corporate interests of government.  It also shifted to a rank-in-person concept to facilitate executive mobility.
