Description

1- George discusses his background and transition with emphasis on:
- having a plan (the day will come and his came earlier than expected)
- the power of networking 
- willingness to tackle problems not in your lane (similar to taking on additional duties)
- Leveraging your soft skills
- Importance of talking/story telling/bragging, listening, and asking questions

2- Skills required for FM roles:
- Communication (both verbal and in his case, computer networks)
- Connecting the tactical to strategy (what is necessary and at what cost to keep operations running)
- Learning (the macro first- clean and redundant power, cooling, "products" flow; then the micro- humility to learn from the SMEs)
- Team Building
- Personnel Management 

3- Other advice
- Things are done the way you know in the civilian world (their is no "the way" and many ways can work, be adaptable and willing to learn)
- Be willing to ask questions
- Read "Extreme Ownership" and "Start with Why"
