Berger, trust & a terrible change agent

 via Breaking Defense.

“I wish they would have the trust in all Marines,” Berger said of the critics, listing off the numerous military agencies and offices that contributed to developing Force Design. “I will have that degree of trust the day after I leave because the person after me will be fully informed and I’ll be one day out of date.”

“That was kind of the surprising thing,” Berger added. “Why did they doubt? Why did they lose trust in all the Marines they served alongside?”

Here 

I find this amazing.

Berger started his "transformation" without trust.  He was secretive, did not get buy in from stakeholders and formed a tight circle that kept relevant information away from those stake holders.

He is the ultimate example of a failed change agent.

To hear his lamentations about lack of trust is to be frank insulting. He and his cabal did everything but foster trust.

He leaves a wounded and failed Commandant that half assed this transformation and is leaving the Marine Corps in worst shape than when he found it.

Good riddance and I wish him nothing but pain and suffering in the future.
