My Take
Jeff Zients interests me as the operator's operator. A business executive who became White House Chief of Staff and, earlier, the coronavirus response coordinator, he embodies a type that rarely gets headlines: the person who makes the machine actually run. I suspect his value was never rhetoric but logistics, the unglamorous talent for sequencing decisions under chaos. In an era obsessed with charisma, I find something reassuring about a builder being trusted with execution at the highest level. Governments need fewer orators and more people who can simply get the thing done.
