A Practical Guide to Government Management provides a comprehensive
yet one-volume work on high-level government management and can be
described as a management book, reference book, and textbook all in
one. It is geared towards any upper level government manager,
public administration student, or anyone interested in public
sector management. Government managers receive limited or no
management training, and at higher levels, focus more on policy
than management, with negative consequences for the agencies they
manage. This book seeks to address that dearth, written from the
point of view of someone who successfully led government
organizations, for an extended period, and faced a wide variety of
managerial problems and issues. It covers a number of topics seldom
discussed (and certainly not all in one volume), such as handling
problem employees, cutback management, prioritization, making
decisions, gaining control of an organization, and telling one's
boss - the elected official-no. Leo Strine, Chief Justice of
Delaware's Supreme Court and a former colleague, says that "In a
time when many Americans are jaded about public service, it's
refreshing to be reminded that there are talented people who devote
their careers to making our government work for the governed. Vince
Meconi always put the public first in his decades of service in all
three branches of government, and anyone interested in making
government more effective will benefit from his insights and
experience." Former Delaware Medicaid Director Harry Hill says, "I
have led government agencies, managed for multiple Fortune 500
Companies, and run my own business. Vince Meconi is the best
manager I have ever encountered. As a student of management myself,
I collected over 800 books on the subject. Most offered little new,
just a new way of saying the same thing. This book has what the
others lacked - written instructions, practical examples, and
advice for public sector managers from someone who has actually
faced all the challenges for a prolonged period. It is a management
book, reference book, and textbook all in one."
