Titelbeschreibung

<span><span>To understand the challenges of political leadership and how top executives</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>succeed in accomplishing an Administration’s objectives, business-in-government</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>experts Paul R. Lawrence and Mark A. Abramson present the findings</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>of a four-year study of top political appointees in the Obama Administration.</span></span>
<br>
<span></span>
<br>
<span><span>The 42 participants—Deputy Secretaries and agency heads—provide case</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>studies of how each approaches the management challenges and achieves</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>the mission of their organization.</span></span>
<br>
<span></span>
<br>
<span><span>Full of behind-the-scenes insights and practical advice from government political</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>executives on how they face management challenges in real time, </span><span>What</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>Government Does: How Political Executives Manage </span><span>offers indispensable insights</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>to current and prospective political appointees and everyone interested</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>in understanding how leaders make government agencies more effective.</span></span>
<br>
<span></span>
<br>
<span><span>The new book, a follow-up to their previous book, </span><span>Paths to Making a</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>Difference: Leading in Government, </span><span>presents an insightful framework of what</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>government does. Instead of thinking about government by policy area, the</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>authors present an alternative approach in which government executives are</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>categorized by the type of agency they are managing. The book includes</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>chapters on Deputy Secretaries, producers, regulators, infrastructors, scientists,</span></span>
<br>
<span><span>and collaborators.</span></span>
