A9 (laughter) OK, because I give a standard talk on leadership and ... so ... the reason I’m laughing is
and what I do, I say that everything I’ve learned about leadership I’ve learned from raising a family
and being a parent. I’ve been married 36 years, I’ve got 3 daughters. And really managing a Federal
workforce is not much different than managing a family (chuckle). I gave this talk once to a group of
Hispanic women and they were like, “this is so right!” You know? And if you think about it, the
skills that you have to providing for them financially, making sure that have nurturing a family,
they have a place to work, place to live, that they you demand discipline, you demand rigor, you want -
them to advance themselves. That’s leader should want that for their entire workforce, – any Federal
right? They should want that they had sufficient resources to do the job, you want them to advance
themselves, you want them to do excellent whether it’s at school or at work, and you do things to
encourage that. And so I became aof 26, I got married at the age of 22 father at the age – and I gotta tell
you, everything that I know (chuckle) came from that kind of thing. I think ... if people thought
about it in those terms, it would make it a lot easier for some of those technocrats who don’t have some
skills to think about it in terms of their own work behaviors.

assignments at the White House, going to Harvard, being stationed overseas, just living in different
places and getting to know a lot of different people, getting exposed to different education
