This volume brings together the innovative ideas of 21 of America's
leading governors and mayors expressed in their own words. The book
features contributions carefully collected and selected over
several years, including chapters by former Governors George Bush
of Texas and Tommy Thompson of Wisconsin and Mayors Giuliani and
Daley of New York and Chicago respectively.
The editors have cast these varied contributions within the
framework of "the New Public Management," whose main elements are:
(1) reverting to core functions; (2) devolving authority and
decentralizing; (3) "rightsizing," or limiting the size and scope
of government; (4) restoring civil society; (5) adopting market
principles; (6) managing for results, satisfying citizens, and
holding government accountable; (7) empowering employees, citizens,
and communities; and (8) introducing e-government and modern
technology.
Most of the chapters exemplify more than one of these elements. The
most common theme of these officials is their use of market forces
and principles to improve the conditions of their states and
cities. Another common thread is empowering employees, citizens,
and communities. Several officials describe their success in
reforming education and others to their technological innovations
and achievements; others describe their fundamental and
thoroughgoing management reforms.
States and cities-small and large-are represented here, and their
leaders illustrate and illuminate the kinds of forward thinking
that can profitably be adopted elsewhere to achieve similar
success. This book is intended to help make that happen.
