About the Book
A valuable collection of strategies, tools and concepts, this book will help an individual in public services to be proactive and result oriented, to chart a successful career in governance.
Apart from discussing concepts of leadership, it also provides:
An overview of the challenges in administration from the Indian perspective
An insight into the unique role public services play in a rapidly changing administrative scenario
Simple skills and tools that can be used at any level to optimize the delivery of public services
Based on the author’s personal experiences in 30 years of working in the central and state governments in various capacities, this engaging book looks at the complex world of leadership in government, an area much talked about, but about which very little has been written.
The book emphasises the importance of leadership in government and links it to various day-to-day aspects in real-life situations. It speaks on many governance issues that touch all of us, and is, therefore, useful for everyone.
