10INSIGHTSFROMAQUARTERCENTURYINPUBLICSERVICE

MyInsights

1986- 2004

Internal Revenue Service(IRS)

Be a constant learner – it will temper arrogance and help you grow.

IRS- “TheWonderYears”1986- 2004

Do excellent work – more importantly, work excellently with others.


Transition graciously and gracefully.

It is never a good idea to leave a bad impression.


2004- 2006

Department of Navy –Naval District Washington

A great boss and great colleagues can overcome a lot.

NDW– “GloryDays”2004- 2006

Positional authority rocks!

The ability to influence without authority will make you a rock star.

NDW– “GloryDays”2004- 2006

2006- 2008

Federal Election Commission(FEC)

Pace yourself – peaking too soon is awful.

FEC– “SchoolofHardKnocks”2006- 2008

Temper yourself – a spoken (written) word can never be unspoken. And, some things truly are better left unsaid (unwritten).

FEC– “SchoolofHardKnocks”2006- 2008

2008- 2011

U. S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)

If you jump out of a hot frying pan, you will land in the fire.

GAO– “LandofOz”2008- 2011

Hearts and minds are not yours to win – they are others’ to give.


You can fool some of the people some of the time – but, to thine own self be true all of the time.
