Based on original interviews with politicians and senior public sector managers, including the last four cabinet secretaries, it is full of anecdotes, actionable lessons and insights. Each chapter takes a specific aspect of management and starts by explaining why it is different in the public sector, then sets out ways for public sector managers to handle those differences and ends with an executive summary and a checklist to prompt managers to think about how they might change what they currently do". adult ALEXANDER STEVENSON ; With a foreword by Lord Mandelson Includes index Public administration Management Great Britain Administrative agencies Management Great Britain Government productivity Great Britain Organizational change 351.41 STE 9780749467777 MBIP 260206 20260209151252.0 729026 eng
