Jameson W. Doig and Erwin C. Hargrove outline a perspective on
leadership in government that emphasizes entrepreneurship. They
show how government executives' ability to set goals, generate
support inside and outside the bureaucracy, and implement
innovative ideas-- even at risk to their own careers-- can have a
significant impact on their organizations and on society.
In this abridged edition, biographical studies of David
Lilienthal, Hyman Rickover, James Webb, Nancy Hanks, Robert
McNamara, Wilbur Cohen, Robert Ball, and Austin Tobin illustrate a
variety of skills and strategies used by effective executives. Doig
and Hargrove describe their styles as ranging from "rhetorical
leaders" to "entrepreneurial administrators." Yet these diverse
leaders share some important traits, including a capacity to see
historical opportunity, the ability to mobilize constituencies, and
a desire to "make a difference."
