Mostly agree: government experience is an amazing learning experience in leadership. As for the unusually “difficult people,” not really: the civil servants at DOJ were impressive.
@kristallakis.bsky.socialI think maybe the greatest benefit of work experience in government is that you learn how to get something done on the most complex problems, in the most complex organizations with (oftentimes) the most difficult people. So any work experience after that feels much simpler, smoother, unstoppable… ✨
