WORKFORCE
PEOPLE ABOVE ALL
Spisak believes leaders should surround themselves with the best and brightest people possible.
in every organization. Some of our part- ners said, “I know what you’re trying to accomplish, but here’s what’s going on in my organization. What can we do to solve this problem?” Dialogue and communi- cation allowed us to build a coalition of the willing. When we come together as a community, we’ve been able to achieve tremendous things, from our Human Capital Strategic Plan to our training and development programs, to the establish- ment of the Army Acquisition Center of Excellence in Huntsville, Alabama.
In a career like mine, there are so many people who have had a direct impact on my professional, personal and
organizational successes. So many super- visors and coworkers, all of the ASA(ALT) s, the principle military deputies and the program executive officers. And I’m grate- ful to all of them.
But I’m especially grateful to those who have worked at USAASC and in the DACM Office. I’ve always believed that if you’re ever lucky enough to get into a leadership position, you need to be smart enough and secure enough to surround yourself with the best and brightest people possible. If you bring in a smart, diverse team, you can accomplish great things. And my colleagues and teammates have been incredible!
I apologize in advance, because I know I’m going to leave out some of the names of those who have earned my special thanks. But I’d like to call out all the deputies I’ve had first. Not many people want to listen to the director’s problems, but at least my deputy (currently Col. Ralph Borja) always served as a great sounding board and really made the job easier. And in spite of me, some have gone on to become general offi- cers and members of the Senior Executive Service. I also have to thank everyone in the front office staff roles, as they all know how difficult it is to put up with me every day. One person in particular who I need to mention by name and I still get to work with is Brian Winters. Anyone who knows
