About this episode
A discussion on the challenges faced when strict interpretations of rules hinder job performance, featuring insights from a former special agent and pilot.
What happens when you have a job to do but you're told you can't do the job because a rule or policy is being strictly interpreted without considering the purpose of the rule? Well, tune in for a fun conversation between Ed the Fed and former special agent Corky Roberts, who worked for the US Fish and Wildlife Service as an agent/pilot and who was intimately familiar with the rules of the Department of Interior Office of Aircraft Services.
