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 7 years, 10 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 7 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.

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 8 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 8 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]
