[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am relatively new Fed at GS-15 level. I manage a staffer who is also a GS-15 who has been with the agency a while.  This person very much does exactly what is asked no more no less. He is not at all pro-active about taking on assignments or being able to be assigned something broad that he can be counted on to think through and come back with something polished. For example every time I give an assignment I have to anticipate his very narrow interpretation aimed at doing the least amount of work. Frankly I spend more time managing him than I do other lower graded staff on the team.

Coming from the private sector I find this frustrating and a bit ridiculous. Another manager said he just made it to this level though attrition. When I discuss him with my manager what are the expectations of what a GS-15 on being a self-starter (for lack of a better term)? [/quote]

Excuse typo
*what are the expectations for a GS-15 on being a self-starter (for lack of a better term)?

This person is a supervisory management and program analyst.  Their job describes being able to manage projects or lead streams of work. He does established work on time and w/o complaint but will not take on new or different assignments at leadership's direction. I recognize its him being difficult on purpose that is why I am curious the broader expectations. [/quote]
