ARMY VETERAN PAUL ANGULO, RIVERSIDE COUNTY AUDITOR-CONTROLLER: LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP
Manage episode 340943621 series 3375243
As the Auditor-Controller for Riverside County, California, Paul Angulo manages a budget in the tens of billions of dollars, amounts larger than the operating budget of half the U.S. States. His responsibilities are immense.
Enlisting in the Army at age 18, Auditor-Controller Angulo attributes a great deal of his later success to lessons in leadership and ethical behavior he learned in the United States Army from 1971-1974. He describes the example set for him by Vietnam combat veterans and noncommissioned officers and how he has incorporated those lessons into managing the enormous budget and staff of the Auditor-Controllers Office.
Judge Johnson and Auditor-Controller Angulo discuss the importance of Americans, all of them, supporting their democracy. We also discuss the toll service takes on our servicemembers and how responsibilities of American citizenship are not shared equally. According to Paul, "Democracy and the freedoms we enjoy are a shared responsibility...I have friends who have been to the Middle East in combat roles for 12 tours. Then we wonder why they have PTSD."
Please listen to Auditor Controller Paul Angulo and the message he has for young Americans. Any questions, please send them to mejohnsonauthor@gmail.com.
Judge Johnson is strictly providing a message to assist veterans in healing. He is not endorsing any candidates for any nonjudicial office. Thank you.
