    It sounds simple, but it's taken a while to get to the realization. For an agency to be effective, it needs the right amount of people and resources. The most recent example is the success the IRS has been seeing. As reported by Federal News Network, the agency recently announced it had collected $1 billion in overdue tax revenue, after launching a crackdown on millionaires not paying what they owe.

For more on this, Federal News Network executive producer Eric White spoke to Bob Tobias, former professor in the Key Executive Leadership program at American University and a former federal union president.

    A new book details the beginning days of the Defense Innovation Unit. Written by two of the agency's early leaders, Raj Shah and Chris Kirchhoff, Unit X tells the story of those who were there to establish DIU, which acts as a go between silicon valley and the Pentagon. One of the main characters is Lauren Dailey, who at the time was DIU's director of acquisitions, where she discovered how the agency could construct contracts that would be more attractive to tech firms. Federal News Network's executive producer recently had the chance to speak with her about it and how everything came together.

Please remove second half of the episode

The stories are ok until they are over and the next part begins.

Matt Cactus ,

Please fix!!

After every episode finishes it begins the lessons learned leadership podcast with a interview with the CEO of Navy Fed Credit Union. Why?! Love this podcast but it is painful to listen to that introduction every single time after the podcast end.
