Greetings Decision maker,
The Trump administration’s focus on reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy is a worthwhile effort, but its current plans for broad, indiscriminate cuts risk undermining critical government functions. A more prudent approach would involve targeted reductions that address wasteful spending while bolstering high-value programs essential to national security, public health, and economic stability.
While some programs within the federal government are undeniably wasteful and merit reevaluation, other areas demand increased funding to fulfill their missions effectively. One option is to implement zero-based budgeting, a method where each federal program must justify its funding from scratch rather than relying on historical appropriations. This approach forces agencies to demonstrate the value of their expenditures and prioritize high-performing programs. By focusing on targeted reforms, the Trump administration can achieve meaningful reductions in bureaucracy while preserving and enhancing the government’s ability to serve the American people.

"I want to express my sincere appreciation for the training that Dr. Gleb put together for our group as a train-the-trainer on hybrid work. We really took a lot from it and found it really valuable. Two of the key areas for us were the way that it provided some very practical advice on how to operationalize hybrid work and train our supervisors on the approach related to that, as well as the insights related to data. And really connecting that and laying a foundation for our supervisors to really understand the impact that hybrid work is having and the way that the best practices are supported based on the research and the studies that are currently happening. We took a lot from it and really appreciate the investment and the time."
Marisol Larez, Chief Administrative Officer at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies

I just returned from LA after giving several speeches. My first two events were cancelled due to the fires, and one of those was literally cancelled in the morning, as I was preparing to put on my suit. The remaining four presentations were held, and I made sure to address the fires as an important part of the talk - after all, there's a reason my company is called Disaster Avoidance Experts, and it's pretty clear that the LA government did not do nearly enough to avoid disasters.
Here's a photo of ash seen on vegetation in Carson, over 15 miles away from the wildfires. My heart goes out to all who were affected by this disaster.
