PEOPLE FIRST—ALWAYS Taking care of the people of the Army Acquisition Workforce—giving them the tools to succeed—has been a consistent theme since the AAC’s beginning. In fact, Vuono talked in his memo about needing qualified people to do the acquisition job.
Over the years, I think smart and good leaders have recognized that our business gets done by people. I don’t care if you say
the mission comes first—the people per- forming that mission are the ones getting it done. Te AAC has always recognized that if you want to achieve significant, long-lasting outcomes, you must put peo- ple first by providing them the tools to build successful acquisition careers.
Tose tools come in a wide variety of categories, including training, education and experience opportunities that the individual can take advantage of as well as basic tools, like a safe working envi- ronment and a high-quality workspace with the necessary equipment to do the
job. Can you imagine working without those tools at the fast pace we have today? When I started in this business in the ’80s, I was one of the first to get a computer at my desk, and it made a huge difference in my job performance.
Tese are just a few reasons why I believe that “people first” will continue to be the unswerving theme of the AAC.
