1% ??? that can't be true. the DoD's personel budget, by itself is 2.7% of the total budget for the whole federal government.

6% seems suspect. I would expect it to be higher... at least in the 20% to 30% range. Do you have a source?

I wouldn't want to assume the details or the difficulty someone else has or is going through related to this. What I have found helpful, when I went through something like this, is to distinguish between the "feeling" of cert

A number of people have recommended good books. So i'll maybe drop a few pieces of advice that I've learned while managing a diverse group of ~35 people. * Listen to the people who report to you. They aren't always right,
