More, Please
Someone who is not a human capital journalist (in this case, Marc Ambinder) says the most important challenge a new agency head (in this case, Leon Panetta at the CIA) will face is human capital. This is true. It's also really important that more people write and talk about human capital. It is a really easy issue to allow to sink under the waves (or to leave out of your legacy briefing book), but if you don't have the people, you don't have your shiny new policy. It's just true.

Government Executive Staff Correspondent Alyssa Rosenberg takes a look at news affecting the management and operations of the massive federal bureaucracy.
But at the end of the day will Panetta hit the ground running with his outside-the-box plans that incentivize the fasttracking of the synergy necessary to align the human capital with the enterprise's core competencies?
Happy Fed Posted Tuesday, January 6, 2009 8:31 AMThis is really poorly written (really). What is the difference between "really important" and important? How can we determine that difference? () are not the proper punctuation for this article. Please use your writing skills and use correct English. This is "way below" GE standards.

old country boy Posted Tuesday, January 6, 2009 10:48 AMHappy Fed, Are you saying somthing or just making a parody of clap trap phrases? Why not speak plainly and say what you mean, if you have something to say. The better question is what about being a political hack qualifies Panetta to be the head of the CIA. It appears that Pres Elect has decided to gut the agency that misled the current president about WMD's.
