Everything accomplished by government is attributable to employees at some level. Public employers in virtually every country and at all levels are operating under pressure to 'do more with less.' Two decades ago the New Public Management was the start of efforts to improve performance in government but the results have been disappointing. Business experienced similar pressure to improve following the 1990 recession. Since then there has been a revolution in the way work is organized and managed. Stories of high performing companies are reported regularly. Just as the 1993 book Reinventing Government sparked innovation, this book argues for reconsidering the way public employees are managed. The changes will contribute to healthier, more productive work environments to attract and motivate the next generation of workers. Written by 3 leading experts who bring to the book 40+ years as managers and consultants and have individual reputations for leading edge thinking at all levels of government, Rethinking Civil Service provides executives, managers, and elected officials concerned with government performance practical advice to improve government performance.

Industry Reviews

“It is a management cliché to say that 'people are the greatest asset of an organization.' But only few public leaders internalize it; even fewer of them operationalize it. All of them should read this book. Howard Risher and William Wilder go beyond the clichés and give solid details for public leaders. In these difficult years ahead, this book will become an operational guide for serious leaders.”
