ABSTRACT

We have heard about Dr. Sells’ many contributions to measurement, to personnel selection, to understanding the workplace, and to the efficacy of treating the addicted. His contributions to psychology and science have likewise been acknowledged. Dr. Simpson (chapter 12) indicated that I would be discussing policy implications of DARP, but I think Dr. Barry Brown (chapter 13) has covered that issue well. I want to talk about how Dr. Sells contributed to one public administrator’s career. I want to talk about Saul, the man, as I know him. To do this, I talk about the contributions he has made to my career–knowing full well mine is one of the least illustrious careers he has influenced.
