Synopsis
This book sets out a former deputy minister's take on the burden of office of the role and on the difficulties of staying out of one ditch -- excessive concern with safeguarding a few key principles -- without sliding into another -- being too anxious to please or too tempted to put personal interests first. The book emphasizes the constructive contribution of experience and imagination, especially when it is enriched by on-the-job reflection. Profession: Public Servant is also the story of the woman who, as deputy minister at Canada Revenue, implemented Canada s Goods & Services Tax (the GST).
