Below is the complete ‘Survival Guide for Civil Servants’ by Mike Mears and me, Ron Sanders. Provided in full text form, it offers some tips (we call them ‘Rules’ but they are NOT binding on anyone) that we recommend to civil servants, senior and otherwise, in order to survive this particular presidential transition. They’re based on our experience over at least nine such transitions, both ‘friendly’ and hostile, as senior civil servants who’s careers depended on what we did, and while we cannot guarantee that following them will always lead to success (or survival), we do offer them for your consideration. Have fun, and of course, let us know if we can be of assistance to you individually.
