It's what they deserve. Our desire to focus attention on leadership and results led us to create ideas for improving the SES, ideas that I know Joyce Edwards spoke to you about in great detail yesterday. These are important issues, and they will have a direct effect on your work in the years ahead. We believe that one important part of a life-long learning plan is mobility. The founders of the SES believed that mobility among agencies and programs was a great way to promote executive learning.
Mobility is also good for the government.
New executive leadership brings fresh perspectives and creative ideas that improve agency operations. Mobility may not be for everyone. Most of us, however, can benefit from taking on new challenges. And, you don't have to move across the country to accomplish this. Often, you only have to move across the hall.
