Review

"...an extraordinarily credible endeavor. …a ‘must-read’ for those contemplating entering management."

---Graziadio Business Report



“Stewart Liff provides many great tactics, case studies and stories that debunk common perceptions that government managers have of the government's personnel system…. This book should be required reading for all supervisors in government.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough guide to managing a government agency, July 29, 2009
Even within the labyrinth of a government agency, a good manager can inspire people and get great results. Stewart Liff draws on his 32-year government career to show you how to increase the productivity of your government agency or organization. For instance, he explains how managers' fear of taking decisive action can cause government inefficiencies, particularly in maintaining a responsive workforce. Liff provides detailed descriptions of typical employment challenges and offers resolutions gleaned from his considerable experience. His approach enlivens what could easily be a dull lesson, particularly in regard to navigating labor issues. For government professionals in management and human resources, getAbstract recommends this clarifying, nuts-and-bolts guide to managing government employees.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good advice, good examples., April 29, 2009
By Jack H. Lewis "Jack" (San Luis Valley, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Liff brings tons of experience to the table. I mostly enjoyed his discussions on EEO issues and working intelligently with Federal unions. I was suprised how much I learned from the Reward and Recognition Overview and the Attendance Managment sections, a resource that I'll keep near my desk.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Government Employees, December 23, 2008
By John Purdue (Virginia) - See all my reviews
Perhaps the single best reference for government employees. Practical ideas for moving beyond conventional management techniques. A must read for employees looking for methods to work within the confines of pay scales, performance evaluations, and less-than-stellar co-workers.
