Our government is in crisis, mired in bureaucracy and often unable
to fix tough problems. This book provides an essential new model
for transforming the system and getting things done. Covid. Climate
change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We are facing a
new generation of complex problems, stretching across the public
and private sectors and flowing over organizational boundaries.
Historically we have looked to government for big solutions, but
the reality is, the government we have now is a poor match for the
problems we face. It is trapped in organizational boxes and
handicapped by leaders who, too often, try to manage problems from
the top down. We need a fresh, new approach. As executive director
of Deloitte's Center for Government Insights, William D. Eggers and
public management scholar Donald F. Kettl show in this
indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders, public
managers and leaders who collaborate with partners, both inside and
outside government, to get the job done. They manage horizontally
instead of vertically; they see their role as connectors; and they
identify which players have the assets needed to solve the problems
at hand. Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of
bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how
effective leaders have put each principle to work. Also included: a
special section on creating a 100-day bridgebuilding plan.
Throughout, Eggers and Kettl tell fascinating and instructive
stories of bridgebuilders who are transcending boundaries,
partnering across sectors, and getting sh*t done. Government can't
reorganize itself out of the challenges it faces or muscle its way
through with a command-and-control approach to problem solving.
Bridgebuilders provides a new model that current public managers
and leaders, as well as young people aspiring to public service,
can learn and apply right now to transform government performance
and restore public trust.
