In this episode of
Contracting Conversations from the NCMA/DAU Nexus Conference in Jacksonville,
FL, Jim and Scott get a behind-the-scenes account of the DoD’s fight against the
Covid-19 pandemic. They speak with Thomas
Dougherty, the Executive Director and Senior Contracting Official with Army
Contracting Command in New Jersey, about his instrumental role in the rapid
response team – a duty that earned him recognition from the President of the
United States. Mr. Dougherty shares key takeaways on how he worked with a
multifunctional team and offers tips on handling team burnout, even with
demanding requirements around the clock.
