To be effective, government must be run by professional managers.
When decisions that should be taken by government officials are
delegated to private contractors without adequate oversight, the
public interest is jeopardized. Verkuil uses his inside
perspectives on government performance and accountability to
examine the tendencies at both the federal and state levels to
'deprofessionalize' government. Viewing the turn to contractors and
private sector solutions in ideological and functional terms, he
acknowledges that the problem cannot be solved without meaningful
civil service reforms that make it easier to hire, incent and,
where necessary, fire career employees and officials. The
indispensable goal is to revitalize bureaucracy so it can continue
to competently deliver essential services. By highlighting the
leadership that already exists in the career ranks, Verkuil senses
a willingness, or even eagerness, to make government, like America,
great again.
