634-4767 CLASSES START THIS WEEK admits to authorizing the policies on press contacts and out-of-area calls as well as the budget hearing memo. But she contends that to do otherwise would have been "bad management" "This is not a personal operation," she insisted. "This is a government, tax-supported operation. Board members do not want to read in their newspaper problems they never heard about There isn't any responsible official who would allow that" Miss Grier said she excluded her staff from budget hearings not to limit dissent but to prevent board members from getting the false impression that her staff has "time to just sit around in meetings." The staff, she said, wants to be trusted, "but they have no intention of making it a two-way street "I've been around a long time sitting in on board meetings and I can't tell you how many times I heard the statement from the board, 'If you can afford to have all these people sitting here in the audience you must be "I explained that to the policy planners but they may not have explained it to their subordinates for whatever deliberate reasons they had in mind." As far as complaints from health professionals are concerned, Miss Grier takes little stock in their credibility. "I feel strongly that people in the behavior sciences who want to help their clients change and who can't change themselves we may question their real value," she said.

Whether or not that perception was accurate, it fueled the fire of opposition even before she arrived at HSA.

Many of the top human services officials saw her appointment as a blow to the health professionals who are concerned more with helping than punishing. Her opponents now say their worst fears were realized. Although most concede that Miss Grier has considerable managerial ability, they claim her need to make all decisions and keep staff members under tight control created the discontent that is eating away at the agency's chances for success. Miss Grier, a lifelong public servant demands loyalty from her troops. She claims to tolerate dissent and even encourage it but not when it threatens programs or the agency's image.

She has been known to dress down her top assistants in front of their subordinates and has a reputation for bypassing the chain of command to utilize employes she identifies as loyalists. But what seems to rankle staff members the most is her refusal to delegate authority and her insistence on being informed of every action before it is taken. Within the last year, all staff members have been ordered to say nothing to the press without first checking with her. Calls and letters to Sacramento and Washington, once routinely made by department heads, are now strictly forbidden without Miss Grier's personal okay. Nor may an employe talk to a county supervisor without her approval.

But the example cited most often by her opponents is a memo circulated just before this year's budget hearings. In it employes were warned not to appear at the public hearings, even if on vacation or compensatory time. Pamela Reagor, a deputy director of mental health, warned of possible consequences from those policies in an internal memo to the HSA Organization Task Force. She wrote that autocratic management styles run counter to professional identity and "produce significant feelings of paranoia, helplessness and alienation. Needless to say, such factors can cripple an organization, adding tremendously to delays in completing tasks.

"When these factors occur they produce the kind of pedestrian, rigid and cold services for which public services are so famous." Ms. Reagor has since submitted her resignation effective next Friday. 1 Miss Grier dismisses such opposition as coming from inflexible employes unwilling to submit their work to scrutiny. "Yes, there are morale problems," she said, "but they come from people who are unwilling to change. There are people who are pleased with what is happening and a vocal group but far from a majority who aren't "Suddenly they are having standards applied to their work.

They have to be accountable in terms of how they spend their time, and it's understandable that no one likes change when it limits their own freedom to do what they want" Miss Grier repeatedly cites longtime staffers' desires to "do their own thing," sometimes ignoring board policies, as the major reason for the agency's internal conflicts. She WHY RISK A 6-MONTH RATE INCREASE. mi mm mm Good drivers deserve the longest term free of possible rate GEICO's 12-month auto policy. Why not save money if you can? GEICO has been saving money for good drivers since 1936. Today, of the more than 1,000 stock companies that insure autos in the U.S., GEICO is the 5th largest.

Big enough to be everywhere you may need us. Over 3,500 GEICO claims representatives all over the country are there to serve you. To answer questions. To settle your claim promptly and fairly. OEDOO THE GOOD DRIVER COMPANY FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU MAY SAVE.

CRASH A COURSE JJi ii '25 Call toll free Send to: GEICO, 1650 Hotel Circle San Diego, CA 92108 If you didn't shop around for your car insurance, you probably now have a 6-morrth auto policy. Many car-owners do.

Maybe you hadn't noticed. Or didn't think it really mattered. Or thought there was no alternative. It does matter. Your 6-month policy has to be renewed every 6 months.

Its rate can change on renewal. And while it may not go up every time, you know the way prices are going today. There is an alternative. GEICO still offers the 12-month a full year's coverage at a low rate. With a choice of convenient payment plans to fit your budget.

Up to 9 payments if you wish. There are two very good reasons why GEICO can offer you these important cost advantages. One reason: GEICO insures good drivers. Good drivers are the best inflation-fighters around. You have fewer accidents.

You cost us less. So we can afford to charge you less. "Good" doesn't mean "perfect." Good drivers may occasionally be involved in accidents. It can happen to anyone. But that doesn't have to bar you from GEICO.

And once you're a. policyholder, an accident doesn't mean you won't be renewed. In fact, 98 of GEICO's policyholders are offered renewal each year. That tells you something about GEICO's loyalty to its policyholders. Second reason: direct-to-you service.

When you call GEICO, you talk directly to a GEICO staff insurance counselor, not a salesman. That's a savings right there, because there are no extra sales expenses to inflate the cost. And no sales pressure. LIST ALL DRIVERS IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD Includes- "Give dates and details below, including cost of damages. Two-12 hr.
