Sage sequel to Reinventing Government
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
In this sequel to his bestseller, Reinventing Government, David Osborne teams with Peter Plastrik to further explore the process of making public and governmental organizations more entrepreneurial by introducing businesslike practices. The authors focus on five strategies for fundamentally changing the way government works on local, state, regional and national levels, and give plenty of real-life global success stories. This organizational, economic and political tour de force is wonderfully written, and is never dry, academic or reliant on dense government gabble. In fact, it's a page-turner. We recommend it to all concerned citizens.

Dilbert in Government

If you work in a school or another government institution, and if every Dilbert cartoon is one you want to cut out and post, then read this book. Working in an absurd environment is funny on the surface but it also can be deeply depressing. This books shows us how we can do something about it.This is a handbook for fighting the good fight for the return of a little sanity in the government workplace.
This book was fresh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
