With the upcoming change in U.S. presidential administration and the economy in a state of turbulence, the U.S. government is facing a critical period of transition and uncertainty. How do agency leaders and staff avoid roadblocks and stay focused on mission-critical programs to make the greatest impact?
Even under the best of circumstances, all levels of the workforce expect to experience some slowdown as policy shifts and leadership changes require time and attention that would otherwise be invested in advancing current programs and mission goals. Add to this the challenges and confusion that can accompany the introduction of several thousand newly minted political appointees−and it should be no surprise that many view the term ‘effective transition’ as an oxymoron.
The challenges that public sector organizations face during this time do not fall into neat categories. These challenges require new thinking to help incoming leaders and careerists come together across silos to forge strong working relationships and increase collaboration and joint action around important mission priorities.
