Building High-Performance Local Governments: Case Studies in Leadership at All Levels

If you are wanting to read something that really provides a positive approach to building a high quality organization this is a book you should purchase.

This book provides a sound framework to implement a more inclusive work force and includes good examples to better relate material to the reader.I especially liked how the traditional organizational hierarchy was transformed into more of a partnership model.I would recommend this book not only to ones in government, but there are sound takeaways for the business environment as well.

The authors have done a great job in combining a better academic understanding of High Performance Organizations with practical case studies. If you're looking for a "cookbook" of how to think differently about 21st century local government organizations then I highly recommend it.
