About this title

Review

This is at once the most broadly thoughtful and specifically useful book I've read in the field of public management.--Hale Champion, Former Undersecretary of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare

[An] important argument to counter the image of the rigid bureaucrat, with case studies of youth services, a library, a redevelopment project, a police department, and a housing authority.--Future Survey
