Alexander Stevenson
The Public Sector
Managing the Unmanageable
Kogan Page, 2013
¿De qué se trata?
If you think private business has all the management answers, think again.
Recommendation
It is a truth universally acknowledged that – to borrow a phrase from Jane Austen – the public sector produces little besides bureaucracy and bad management. Management consultant Alexander Stevenson argues otherwise. He provides worthwhile lessons about how to manage well in government and how managers in private businesses and corporations could benefit from the public sector’s example. His insights may cause you to look at the civil service in a whole new light. Stevenson writes from a British point of view, and many of his examples are based in London, but readers everywhere will glean useful tips. getAbstract recommends his surprisingly breezy advice to leaders in either sector.
