Electoral legitimacy is the essential linchpin of our entire political culture.
You will need to inspire a workforce that has unfortunately been hollowed out by years of firings, and remind them that their mission is critical--and still noble.
You'll need to demonstrate to the American people that the Intelligence Community deserves their utmost confidence as a source of truth and insight.
One of the first things you can do--at this hearing, even--is to make a strong statement of support for professionalism in the IC and pledge that you will not tolerate politics influencing the analytical process.
