I recently revisited this book and it has some solid ideas on transforming the way government is run. So much of the debate today is on how to use government, conservatives to benefit those who have, and liberals to benefit those who do not have. Both want to spend money, so big and small is a useless paradigm. So we need to again talk about how to make the government we have responsive. No small chore. And this book will not solve placing political hacks into leadership positions and destroying career professionals and their work as we have seen over the last several years. None of this can be done if we do not have competent professionals in leadership positions with the courage to take on how our government delivers its services.
