While flying the RUUDY 4 departure; upon reaching TASCA the pilot flying reached approximately 2;560 FT before ATC instructed the aircraft to descend back down to 2;000 FT. At the time of the incident I was acting as the pilot not flying and was simultaneously talking to ATC and programming the GPS. The correct altitude of 2;000 FT was properly entered into the altitude selector and the flight director was operational and indicating accurately. The departure procedure along with specific altitudes were discussed thoroughly prior to departure and all company procedures and call outs were made in accordance with the company's general operations manual. I believe this event to be the direct result of both pilot negligence and the Captain's poor Crew Resource Management [CRM] skills. I feel additional training with emphasis on CRM could prevent this from happening again.
A Citation First Officer reported his Captain failed to cross TASCA at 2;000 FT as required by the RUUDY SID from TEB.
