Architect of the U.S. Capitol
A Managers Guide to the New Administration
What federal leaders can expect in the coming months.
Every presidential transition creates uncertainty for those who serve in the executive branch, especially when a new political party comes to power. The incoming Donald J. Trump administration is likely to engender more anxiety than most—even among federal managers who supported the new president, and there are many. Trump has promised to upend business as usual, and there’s every indication he will deliver on that promise.
While many of the specifics have yet to be worked out, big changes are on the horizon in personnel management (a hiring freeze, for starters), the regulatory process (for every new regulation, two must go, the incoming president has said), contracting (expect more outsourcing), and even agency missions. In this ebook, the staff at Government Executive offer insight into what managers can expect over the next few months and how some of Trump’s proposals may play out.
