Default How Things Get Done

Been there, done that. Worked to get something going for two years
till I sat down and chatted between a couple of meetings with a two-
star. He reached over a confernce room table, grabbed the phone, made
a call, in the middle he asked me how much staff I would need, rank
and job types. Told him four folks besides me and their skill sets.
He grunted, chatted on the phone a few more minutes (as everyone held
off starting the meeting), hung up, leaned back to me, said "its
done." First body showed up by the end of the week. We worked for 6
months then disbanded. We saved the US taxpayer 17 million dollars
the first year with that program.
Just gotta get to the right folks.
Very cool. You going to help with the program?
