Veterans Affairs management is evolving - but for the better?

If there’s been a worse example of a management crisis over the past few years, it’s tough to think of one that got worse press than the mess at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The agency helps at least nine million veterans at more than 1,700 locations … but the time it took to get services created a host of issues for both administrators and the veterans they sought to serve. Investigations were conducted and most concluded the major issue could be blamed on inept or sloppy middle management. There was a serious leadership problem at the VA, and there didn’t seem to be anyone willing to take responsibility for the mess and get it cleaned up and working properly.
