Well, I like the idea of training political appointees in how to actually manage their staff - that's a skillset that should be taught to people in charge if they don't have it already.

But the rest of the plan misses the point. Government is not a business - it does things that businesses cannot (or will not) do. Trying to turn it into a business would make it less effective.

Rob, the main point of those briefings is to attempt to turn U.S. government into the 1890's version, with a few exceptions. The DOD would be given a free hand and purse so that the military industrial complex can happily make a profit. Whether the weapons they make will be reliable or not will be the question. The DOJ will be harnessed in pursuit of corporate America. Every regulatory agency will be turned into hollow shells. The VA will be definitely starved of funds. Taking care of wounded vets would cost too much.   Disaster relief?....if we can't take the money from another line item, it ain't gonna to happen. It's the 47 percent that voted for the other party anyway. All of this presided by the Makeover Chairman in Chief.
