What does a successful State Department look like and how can one build support for creating it? Described here is a State Department whose ideas for shaping the world in positive ways drive the agenda of America's engagement and build a broad base of public support to which elected leaders can respond. The author outlines her ideas on how to create a State Department that attracts entrepreneurial people, developing n them the means and providing the support to effectively promote U.S. values and interests throughout the world: a State Department that cultivates support by understanding and solving problems, our own and those of other countries, that has as its core mission the protection of Americans at home and abroad, and that has built a solid basis of domestic support for its needs and activities. Included in this proposal is tighter focus on consular activity as the department's "raison d'être", limbering up the personnel system, providing professional education, encouraging greater risk tolerance in the performance of duty, reconsidering where representation needs to be physically located, and establishing a stable basis for long-term funding - all basic elements of good management.
