An authoritative study of leadership in the British civil service from one of the top authors in the field. Ken Theakston draws the lessons of how change in central government can be managed and implemented from a series of biographical studies of the acknowledged leaders in the civil service in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - from Charles Trevelyan, the founder of the modern civil service, to modern mandarins such as Robert Armstrong and Margaret Thatcher's personal adviser the outsider Sir Derek Rayner. This study will appeal to students of British politics and government, public administration, public policy, political history and comparative politics, as well as policy-makers, civil servants and others interested in the policy-making and the governing process.

Industry Reviews

Theakston shows that individual actors matter, and they can have significant impact...but his writing is informative and stimulating: indeed, the book is that rarity in academic publications - an enjoyable read!' - Robert Pyper, Parliamentary Affairs
