The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s senior management should focus on polishing the NRC’s public image and improving interpersonal skills, an employee survey conducted for the agency’s inspector general’s office found.
“The majority of participants feel immediate managers do not possess the people skills necessary to lead,” according to a report released today with the results of the 2012 survey on safety culture and climate at the NRC. Workers are also “concerned about the relationship of their top leaders with the NRC’s external image due to the recent events with the former chairman,” it said.
