About
I want you to be as successful as possible. Many military & civilian leaders find themselves in an unfamiliar environment mid-career. For me, it was being assigned to the Pentagon where I wrestled the Bureaucracy for 15 years. There is a whole sequence of hurdles to cross:
Adapting to the New Pentagon Assignment
Understanding Pentagon People
Developing the Interpersonal Skills to Build Relationships
Learning How Bureaucracy Works
Writing for a Government Audience
Competing in Conference Room Meetings
Getting Promoted
Military Retirement and Transition
The more effectively you can perform these steps, the more pleasant your experience will be and the more success you will enjoy.
