Congressional Experience
Sister site Lost in Transition points out that if Hilda Solis is confirmed, 230,000 federal employees from State, Interior, Transportation, Commerce, the CIA and Labor will be run by former Congressmen. That's a lot of department and agency heads without a lot of organizational management experience. There are some exceptions (Leon Panetta ran the Office of Management and Budget, for example.), but it's going to be very interesting to see how these new leaders adapt to the management challenges they encounter.
