Someone (preferably someone in higher power) tells you what to do, when to do it, and how you can send feedback? Presumably while you sit and wait for direction? <BR/><BR/>Oh...I thought that was a hierarchy.<BR/><BR/>So, if you had a chance to provide feedback, what would it be?DGTweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438017628265700858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737262791051632022.post-91975930567381511212008-06-14T22:38:00.000-04:002008-06-14T22:38:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.DGTweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438017628265700858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737262791051632022.post-21582352668179066622008-06-14T22:36:00.000-04:002008-06-14T22:36:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.DGTweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438017628265700858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737262791051632022.post-60427416269626842322008-06-13T13:46:00.000-04:002008-06-13T13:46:00.000-04:00Tell us how? Are you looking for an online form or...Tell us how? <BR/>Are you looking for an online form or a DG steering committee or a new program office?<BR/><BR/>I do appreciate that you guys post this blog, and it is an important gesture toward renewal. But in a few words, Renewal is about creating it. You won't find it in any committee, program or initiative. <BR/><BR/>Renewal is about regular and influential people inside of government using their mellons (thinking) and adapting to the inevitable realities coming to their own "corners" of the public service. It's about having the courage to make changes and push limits whenever that seems needed.<BR/><BR/>Sure, you may have a bit of a struggle on your hands, but renewal only going to happen when some of the important tussles over what needs to be done versus the way we've traditionally gone about things are engaged in. <BR/><BR/>So, don't wait for the magic solution to renewal to be proclaimed. There isn't one. <BR/><BR/>Do you really think our 50 and 60-year-old ADMs are going to stick around to see this thing through? It's obvious they won't be here, and all they have is a pretty good picture of what's coming--not what to do. That's why the Clerk's messages are not prescriptive. <BR/><BR/>As for how, that's up to us. And that's why we need to step up and make the absolutely necessary changes happen in our own little spheres of influence. It's about people like you and me stepping up and stepping into places and things that need to change.<BR/><BR/>This is how Renewal could actually become reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
