Yet the government has not transformed, in many cases for decades, how it classifies, compensates, develops, and motivates its employees to achieve maximum results with available resources and existing authorities. This is especially the case with the federal government's top leadership and federal justices and judges. Leading organizations understand that they must often change their culture to successfully transform themselves, and that such a change starts with top leadership. Most importantly, senior leaders who are drivers of continuous improvement are needed to stimulate and support efforts to facilitate change and achieve related transformation efforts for the federal government. At the Chairman's request, we recently reported on executive and judicial pay--Human Capital: Trends in Executive and Judicial Pay (GAO-06-708). This testimony highlights information from that report. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1116T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1116T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1116T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1116T.pdf GAO-06-1116T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-1116T Testimony GAO-06-1116T; Human Capital: Trends in Executive and Judicial Pay Suggest a Reexamination of the Total Compensation Package; Comparative analysis Executive compensation Human capital Judicial compensation Pay rates
