Jessica Diane Wolfert replied to the topic YGL-LA Let’s Talk Tuesday: How Do You Remember Everything? in the forum Young Government Leaders LA 8 years, 9 months ago
Overall, post-its are the invention of organized chaos! For more important projects, I like to keep a calendar that I log my long-term and short-term obligations and goals. I try to plan my week out ahead of time to get in the motions of good time management practices. Also, there is Word Doc of my To-Do’s of the future that I tap in to…[Read more]

Jessica Diane Wolfert replied to the topic New Year’s Resolution: Try it! in the forum Young Government Leaders LA 8 years, 11 months ago
I have resolved to be more proactive. In anything I do. Regarding conflict resolution, I keep in mind that it is an opportunity to learn and understand; I’m less reserved about jumping in to find out what’s going on. Additionally, the knowledge from that experience will undoubtedly guide me through similar situations, bearing in mind there is no…[Read more]

Jessica Diane Wolfert started the topic Let’s Talk Tuesdays: Tis the Season of Productivity v. Production in the forum Young Government Leaders LA 8 years, 11 months ago
Congress is almost out of session and the calendar year is almost up. The Washington Post sums up the inadequate production stats on the passing of bills, while the rest of us continue tallying up our own.

Jessica Diane Wolfert replied to the topic Let’s Talk Tuesdays: Is Your Agency Considered a Gen X/Y “Best Place to Work?” in the forum Young Government Leaders LA 9 years, 1 month ago
I would start looking at less traditionalist leadership models! Just like the era of Yelp, gone is the work mode of punch-in and punch out. A new generation of talented, federal employees are looking for satisfaction of serving their country–satisfaction comes from making a dent, making a change and having more identity based on what you do. Is…[Read more]

Will desk audits lead the way to reform? How many federal jobs out there are not properly classified–or compensated?“Everybody complains that more of [the] budget goes to paying salaries, and you wonder how much of that could be savings if people were properly classified,” said…[Read more]

Jessica Diane Wolfert replied to the topic What kind of stress do you have and how do you deal with it? in the forum Young Government Leaders LA 9 years, 3 months ago
Uncertainty is about 60% of my “work stress.” Since last year, we have been dealing with a lot of ambiguity and changes–not just in regards to personnel and management, but strategy, focus, communication–it’s a complete organizational re-work. Shifting a culture is bound to have people feel like they are falling in the cracks, especially when it…[Read more]
