Andre Mendes
Andre Mendes strives to drive consensus within his organization. His focus is creating or adopting abstraction layers that remove commodity burdens from the department’s IT portfolio. “Like everywhere else, feds want to do great work, but many have been rocked into complacency by lack of accountability, a dearth of inspiring leadership and performance management that does little to accentuate the difference between superlative performance, passable efficiency or even mediocre throughput,” Mendes said. “Everybody aspires to greatness; many are lulled to sleep by a permissive environment. Give people reason to rise to excellence, and most will.”
