You can't make good policy without good people. #PersonnelIsPolicy
Personnel Is Policy

Personnel policies refer to principles and rules of conduct which “formulate, redefine, break into details and decide a number of actions” that govern the relationship with employees in the attainment of the organisation objectives
’Personnel is policy” is a saying used to describe the personnel that a new executive puts in place. The saying became popular in 1981, after Ronald Reagan’s presidential victory and during his first year in office. Reagan’s conservative supporters wanted to rid the government of personnel from the Jimmy Carter administration, but they also didn’t want personnel from the moderate Republican administration of Gerald Ford. However, Reagan’s conservative supporters—long out of power in Washington—didn’t have the government experience needed to fill positions.
“Personnel is policy” has been cited in print since at least November 1981. Personnel Is Policy: Why the New President Must Take Control of the Executive Branch (2001) was written by Robert E Moffit of the Heritage Foundation.
