And if you don't know what a transition team leader does:
Preparation and Planning
The transition team leader begins work well before the election, typically as early as spring of the election year. Their primary tasks include:
- Establishing a transition organization structure (who gets to pick who)
- Developing a comprehensive transition plan
- Setting up office space and securing necessary resources (i.e. bugging and spying)
Post-Election Activities
Once the election results are clear, the transition team leader's role intensifies:
- Personnel Selection (who runs what)
- Oversee the identification and vetting of candidates for over 4,000 presidential appointments, including more than 1,200 requiring Senate confirmation (weed out everybody who is not circumcised, doesn't hold Israel passport and doesn't give to Zio causes)
- Manage the security clearance and ethics review processes for potential staff members (weed out troublemakers and people with moral backbone)
Policy Development
- Coordinate the creation of a clear policy agenda based on the campaign platform
- Prioritize actions for the first day, 10 days, 100 days, 200 days, and 300 days after inauguration
Agency Review
- Evaluate how federal agencies can contribute to the president-elect's management and policy agenda
- Understand the structure and goals of more than 100 federal agencies3
Coordination and Communication
The transition team leader serves as a key liaison between various stakeholders:
- Work with the General Services Administration (GSA) to access transition resources and support1
- Collaborate with the outgoing administration to ensure a peaceful transfer of power
- Manage relationships with Congress, federal agencies, and other relevant parties
