Everyone who aspires to more effective public service should read
this book. It provides a compelling antidote to the managerial
focus of theory and practice in public administration. Written with
the aim of inspiring and rekindling a mission for public service,
Transformational Public Service weaves together theory and stories
from actual practice to show that public service can (and does)
advance the goals of democracy, inclusiveness, and social and
economic justice. Eight practitioners from government and
non-governmental organizations at all levels - from the street to
the executive office - tell their personal stories of
transformational public service. Theory, poetry, and popular
culture references are woven around the stories. Both students and
practitioners will discover new ways of thinking in this book that
will enable them to transform their own administrative practices.
As the authors note in their prologue: "As we listened to these
stories, we heard people say that public service can be and is
transformational (transforms institutions, practices, and people's
lives and experiences) in ways that serve democracy, engagement,
and social and economic justice. The public service they practice
is collaborative, humanistic, emancipatory, inclusive, and
diverse."
