You can always reach higher and go faster; that's a function of our life and a function of any system. I wanted specifically to point out the places where it wasn't happening--where people weren't jumping, weren't running, weren't doing things according to merit.
Consistent with your own private sector approach to life, which is based on the principle of good solid leadership and presumes some research, and the private sector system of governance--in other words, bottom line, perform--when you accepted this job, presumably you would have already considered those. I imagine, because I hold you in some regard, that you would have done that kind of pre-study beforehand and would be able to give us an indication of where we have been missing meritocracy and transparency.
