Synopsis

This publication is an integrated compilation of practical advice on how career and appointed leaders and managers can better manage for results, and how Congress, the media and the public can support and critique performance. The advice is non-political and non-partisan, reflecting the time-tested judgments of a broad cross section of experienced government leaders.

Essays include the personal views of senior leaders on strategic approaches to achieving results, critical human capital management issues, using IT, leading organizational change, working with state and local governments and with contractors, communicating results to congress, the media, and the public, linking performance and budgeting, evaluating results, and working on results with IGs, GAO, and OMB.

Review

The Federal Government is results-oriented. We ask ourselves if we're accomplishing the desired result at an acceptable cost. If the answer is "no" or "we don't know," we are committed to do something about it. This volume contributes to our continuing effort to improve government's results for the American people." -- Clay Johnson III, Deputy Director for Management, Office of Management and Budget, George W. Bush Administration "The Federal government has made significant progress recently under both Republican and Democratic administrations in increasing its focus on the performance of its programs. However, developing comprehensive, effective performance management and reporting is a long term project that has only begun. This book captures the experience of the past, is invaluable for today's managers and provides a constructive framework on which to build for the future." -- John Koskinen, Deputy Director for Management, Office of Management and Budget, William J. Clinton Administration
