Young Government Leaders has a great article in this week's Fedmanager newsletter recapping a July 22 luncheon on why social media and innovation matter to the next generation of government leaders. The bottom line, YGL writes, is that while young federal workers may come across as a bit too casual, their authenticity enables them to establish trust quickly and work effectively in teams.
