for me, when i think about people that work for bob gates or leon panetta or at lower levels, jake sullivan, i also think about your emails and all intelligence, not just the ideas you bring to a position in government but can you inspire others to follow you or can you inspire others to come around an idea they can execute as a team, can you walk into a meeting and know immediately how you are going to present your ideas in a way that will be effective, when your briefing bob gates, it is different than when you are briefing leon panetta and can you recognize those differences. even by the day, i would have mornings i would walk into joe biden's office and i know this is a 5-minute day, i get 5 minutes to pitch this policy idea, see if we can shape our argument or 50 minutes, i have got more time and it is a different conversation but style and substance, i have seen different leaders be very effective in the way they manage groups, inspire groups, bring people along, they manage up, they manage down, that is a specific skill set that is unique and you don't see people in those top positio

when you're briefing bob gates, it's very, very different than when you're briefing leon panetta. and can you recognize those differences. and even by the day, you know, i would have mornings where i'd walk into joe biden's office and i knew this is a five-minute day. i get maybe five minutes to pitch this policy idea and kind of see if we can shape our argument in this direction or it's 50 minutes and i've got more time and it will be a different conversation. but i think style and substance, i've seen different leaders be very effective in how they manage groups and inspire groups, bring people along. they manage up but manage down. that's a specific skill set that's unique and you don't always see by people that are in those top positions of power. sometimes they're absolutely brilliant like in the scary/smart category. but when it comes time to execution for one reason or another, they either don't have the eq or the sets of experience that will help them translate all those brilliant ideas into governing or effective governance. and so for me, i've really walked away with thi
