  • I Have Been Working on a Book, Stand-Ins, on The
    Workshop Participants: I have been working on a book, Stand-Ins, on the causes and consequences of temporary leadership in government, business, and religion, which is aimed at a more general audience. Given recent events, I have returned to more traditional scholarship to explore some of the issues involving temporary leadership (and the lack thereof) in federal agencies, among other topics. This paper is brand new, incomplete, and unpolished. Given its length, I would recommend reading the Introduction (pp.1-5), Scope of Actings (pp.13-27), and Statutory Questions (pp.33-42). I look forward to your reactions and suggestions for improvement. AJO Actings Anne Joseph O’Connell Stanford Law School April 1, 2019 Please do not cite or distribute beyond the workshop without permission. I. Introduction Stand-in leaders do not usually command much attention. They step up in moments of need to keep organizations running. The stereotypical interim leader is therefore a caretaker—in place to maintain stability; not to implement major changes. But not all interim leaders are caretakers. Some are auditioning for the permanent job. And a few are there to shake up the organization—so-called “fixers”. The scope of temporary leadership is vast—after all, traditional leaders are transitory, and selection procedures for more permanent leaders take time. On the public side, there are interim leaders in all branches of the federal government. In Congress, there are appointed senators, chosen by their state’s governor to fill in for an elected senator who has died or resigned, perhaps in disgrace or perhaps to take a different job.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks to an Overflow Crowd at a Campaign Rally for Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton and Democratic Senatorial Candidate Catherine Cortez Masto in North Las Vegas, Nevada October 23, 2016 The President. Hello, Las Vegas! How is everybody doing? Good? So I'm sorry that it's a little crowded up in there. But I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate you. I would not be President if it weren't for all the work that so many of you did back in 2008, back in 2012. But if we're going to continue all the progress that we've made, then we are going to have to make sure that we vote this time out. So I need everybody here to not just vote yourselves, but you've got to get your friends, your neighbors, your cousins. If you're not 18 and you can't vote, make sure your parents vote and your cousins vote. Because that's the only way we're going to be able to continue the progress that we've made. If you care about putting people back to work, then you want Hillary Clinton as President of the United States. If you want to make sure that immigration reform gets passed, we've got to have Catherine Cortez Masto in the United States Senate. If you want to make sure that we continue to make progress on education and making college affordable, then we've got to have more Democratic Members of Congress in the House of Representatives.

  • Annual Report 2017 - 2018
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 2018 Details Make a Difference www.historicrichmond.com 1 FROM OUR LEADERSHIP Details Make A Difference In our Spring Newsletter, we discussed stepping back to look at “The Big Picture” and how our Vision came into Focus with a shared set of Preservation Values. With that Big Picture now in focus, it is also clear that the Details Make All the Difference. The details are what connect us across generations to those that walked these streets before us. It is the details that connect us to the lives and struggles – both large and small – of those people in these places. For two centuries, an upturned torch at Monumental Church has reflected the lives extinguished too soon by the Richmond Theatre Fire. For more than a century, an eagle on the General Assembly Building’s 1912 façade stood sentinel watching over our Capitol. Several blocks away, another eagle, radiator grill in its grasp (and tongue in cheek), signaled the advent of the automobile. Exceptional craftsmanship has stood the test of time in Virginia Union University’s “nine noble” buildings of Virginia granite. This attention to detail said “We are strong. We are solid. And we will strive and succeed for centuries to come.” It is seemingly insignificant details such as these that help us to understand that our lives are significant – that our actions can - and do - make an impact on the world around us. We are excited to have rolled up our sleeves to focus on those details. In this report, we share with you an update on our work in 2017-2018, including: Preservation • Monumental Church • Masons’ Hall Revitalization • Neighborhood Revitalization Projects Rehabilitation • Westhampton School • Downtown Revitalization/ Blues Armory Advocacy & Education • Master Planning • Rehab Expo • Lecture Programs • Golden Hammer Awards Cover Photo: Painting the east stairwell of Monumental Church thanks to the Elmon B.

The Trump Administration has seen the highest rate of turnover among White House staff in decades, according to the Brookings Institution. Team Trump saw a 34 percent turnover rate during the Berlin convention president’s first year. The next-highest turnover rate for an administration’s first year was Ronald Reagan’s, with 17% of senior aides leaving their posts in 1981. Former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton saw much lower turnovers during their first year in office -- 9%, 6%, and 11%, respectively. This time last year, Reince Priebus was still chief of staff, Sean Spicer was still press secretary, and Stephen Bannon was probably the second most powerful man in America.
