Lessons in Governing is a unique contribution to the study of
Australian policy, politics and government institutions. It
examines the position of Chief of Staff to the Australian Prime
Minister from the perspective of key individuals who have held it.
Exploring the support needs of Australian political leaders, it
traces the forces that have shaped the growth and specialisation of
the Prime Minister's Office since Gough Whitlam first formalised
the appointment of a trusted senior person as head of his private
office in 1972. Individuals in successive PMOs have long been
recognised as key players, but their role has come under greater
scrutiny as the link between prime ministerial effectiveness and
the performance of their private offices has become more widely
understood. While insights and advice have been passed from one
incumbent to the next, there has been no systematic attempt to
understand and document the evolution of the chief-of-staff
position. Lessons in Governing addresses this critical gap in our
understanding of the contemporary practice of Australian political
leadership, reporting the findings of a project designed to develop
an empirically informed understanding of the role of prime
ministerial chiefs of staff as seen by those who held the post.
