In the triangular system of the Flag Executive Briefing Course (FEBC) (Product-Org Officer system) the CO or ED coordinates the work of the Product Officer, Org Officer and Executive Esto. In most orgs the CO or ED is also the Product Officer of the org which is a double hat with CO. (HCO PL 7 Mar 72)

(ESTO -1, 7203COl SO 1)

4. the Executive Director has products 1, 2, 3, and 4 (Org Series 10). He is basically when you get it out into a triangular system, the Planning Officer. And he is the fellow that the Product Officer and the Organizing Officer meet with in order to plan up what they're going to do and then the basic team action which occurs, occurs after a planning action of this particular character. Where you have the Product Officer who is also the Executive Director, he is also the Planning Officer. He's double hatted. (FEBC 12, 7102CO3 SO 11)

7. the bulk of the job of the Executive Director is getting existing policy applied and detecting where it isn't being applied, forecasting slumps, repairing emergencies and keeping orgs on the increase, and all in such a way as to not add further upset to the mess. The Executive Director hat does not conflict with the International Org Supervisor hat as the latter is only a portion of the sphere of responsibility of the former.
