4.0 out of 5 stars Slender, readable, more than adequate
A small book on a large subject--But the shorter length makes it more likely to be read. The book has a series of chapters on the expected topics, like dealing with hiring, firing, and the personnel system. It is a worthwhile book, but doesn't have anything startlingly new or original. Still one of the few books to treat this subject from a practioner's view rather than...

This review is from: The New Effective Public Manager: Achieving Success in a Changing Government (Jossey-Bass Public Administration) (Hardcover)
A small book on a large subject--But the shorter length makes it more likely to be read. The book has a series of chapters on the expected topics, like dealing with hiring, firing, and the personnel system. It is a worthwhile book, but doesn't have anything startlingly new or original. Still one of the few books to treat this subject from a practioner's view rather than an academic one. If the subject interests you, I'd suggest reading Haass's "The Power to Persuade" in addition to (not instead of) this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars It will help managers catch up on their sleep, July 3, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Effective Public Manager: Achieving Success in a Changing Government (Jossey-Bass Public Administration) (Hardcover)
With prose more sleep-inducing than general anesthesia, this tome (at least it feels long) microwaves managerial cliches until you wish to forgo a career in public service. Avoid at all costs.
