SUCCESSION PLANNING
Young Americans by the
thousands followed President Kennedy’s inaugural advice in the
1960s and asked themselves what they could do for their country. Service
in the federal government seemed like the perfect way to heed the
president’s rallying call. Stoked by passionate rhetoric of service
to humankind, idealistic twenty-somethings signed on for federal
employment in droves.
THE SAGE OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT
When Dave
Wennergren became chairman of the Defense Department’s Identity
Management Senior Coordinating Group two years ago, it was yet another
opportunity for the Navy CIO to oversee a fundamental change in the way
government does business.
DELICATE BALANCE
When the Presidential
Personnel Office in January appointed Jeff Pon to be chief human capital
officer at the Energy Department, Pon had mixed feelings about
displacing the career executive in the position, Claudia Cross.

IMPERFECT ASSURANCE
With Circular A-123
deadlines just weeks away, more than a few federal agencies are
struggling to satisfy the Office of Management and Budget’s version
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
HUMAN CAPITAL: EMBRYO CXOS
The Office of
Personnel Management is looking for a few good managers in some new
places. And maybe even a few future C-level executives.
PERFORMANCE: CAN WE TALK?
Communicating with
employees about their job performance is a skill as important as any in
the federal manager’s toolbox, but the Office of Personnel
Management doesn’t think supervisors are good enough at it.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: ELEVATING CFOS: COUNT THE
WAYS
Federal CFOs and their colleagues from Congress, the
executive branch and private industry are seeking ways to make
government realize the role of a CFO is more than just writing financial
reports and counting beans.
THIS YEAR’S PRESIDENTIAL DISTINGUISHED RANK WINNERS
The Senior Executives Association’s Professional
Development League last month recognized 62 senior civil servants for
sustained, extraordinary accomplishments at its 21st annual Presidential
Distinguished Rank Awards black-tie banquet. The award is the highest
honor that can be given to a civilian federal employee.
AN EAR FOR LEADERSHIP
What does it take to
succeed as a leader in government? Unfortunately, that question cannot
be answered with a formula or a simple step-by-step program. The
qualities and approaches of successful leaders are often as visceral as
they are substantive, as intellectual and emotional IQ converge to
produce innovative, collaborative actions and accountability for
results.
