That model may have worked for Mullally going from Boeing and saving Ford, but bear in mind Mullally brought decades of experience in how every aspect of Boeing worked, and was competent in applying similar efficiencies in supply chain and production pipeline to save Ford.
In the context of this conversation in a general sense, light-speeding the promotion to management of people with lesser time on the taskset and possibly not even competent in all aspects of the position description is not only illogical, but probably a wide-open opportunity EEOC complaint by others passed up, either for age or other demonstrated preference. Let's think about it, what do you communicate to the entire rest of that workgroup..."none of y'all could EVER be as good a supervisor as this here new fella". That shows a failure of management to develop its internal workforce, a failure to motivate the crews and also betrays management's lust for youth and/or personal relationships.
What would W. Edwards Deming do ?!?

I said some supervision, in context of a varied work force and minimal management staff there will frequently be that situation. For example a small HP staff supporting a small project could easily have a tech with primarily countroom/spectrography experience, one with a lot of field experience in surveys and job coverage, and one with primarily a dosimetry background. Which should be the supervisor? The pick would not relate to the experience but to the acumen of the individuals to lead and the emphasis on project goals.

As a statistician he would have taken into account the population being evaluated. ;)

The NRRPT gives two years of experience for a Bachelors degree. Nothing "swung my way" for that. I do appreciate your input and will take what you said and try to use that as well.

My self assesment says that I would need commercial power plant experience (ie work some outages) to get into power plants. Is it a lack of experience that is currently hurting me? Poor resume (I can post if needed)? Or further qualifications? Thanks!

you want to be supervisor? put in for supervisory positions only. reright your resume for supervisor postions, put tek stuff in a generic 'experience' listing; same for certs and school- 'education'.
