as you mentioned, he's the former ceo of procter & gamble. as we know when the white house was talking about who they were looking to replace the former veterans affairs secretary they weren't sure what to do. there was no short list at the time. would they get a veteran? would they get a ceo with this understanding how to put this organization back together seen seen essentially. in bob macdonald, they get both. he worked for p&g, 33 years, rose to the ranks after serving in the army five years, he's a west point graduate. being a cincinnati native, bob macdonald is highly regarded and revered in cincinnati for his leadership of p&g. again a ceo and veteran to lead the v.a. >> a feeling, then, in the white house because of that, it is likely he is going to be a shoo-in in terms of approval on capitol hill? >> well, it's certainly seems that way based on the statement that the white house put out. i want to read part of that, 33 inform year tenure prepares him well for a huge agency with management challenges in servicing more than 8 million

the former ceo of procter & gamble. this robert mcdonald guy picked to lead the v.a., what was his reputation as a ceo? >> i think he's a safe pair of hands. as far as procter & gamble is concerned, this is 120,000 employees across, what, over 180 countries. he managed a very sizeable business. he is a west point graduate which also gives him the military credentials if you like. i think he was with the 82nd airborne, a captain with them. so he has both business experience which perhaps will help sort out some of the v.a.'s problems right now with the bureaucracy around the medical facilities, but he also has that military background which means that those in the v.a. who have served their country will also be able to have a conversation with this gentleman on their level. so i think in many senses, this is about as good as it gets for trying to deal with the mess that the v.a. appears to have become. back to you. >> yeah, jeff, i can't wait. probably three months probably he'll get in, take a look around, then go to co

serving at virtually every level of procter & gamble. he understands the grand plans are not enough. what matters is the operations that you put in place and getting the job done. bob be an expert in making organizations better. in his career, he's taken over struggling business units. he knows how to roll up his sleeves and gets to work, put agend to what doesn't work, adopting best practices that do, restructuring, introducing innovations, making operations more efficient and eb. in short, he's about delivering better results. he also knows the importance of building what he calls a high performance team, putting the right people in the right jobs, rewarding them when they do well and holding them accountable when they do not. and finally, bob's known for his integrity. he's still guided by that cadet prayer from west point, choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. he served our country in uniform. he's now prepared to answer the call once more. so let me state the obvious. this is not going to be an easy assignment. bob kn
