Getting Results: A Guide For Federal Leaders And Managers - Softcover

Edited by Barry White, Council for Excellence in Government; Kathryn Newcomer, School of Public Policy and Public Administration, The George Washington University

The Federal Government is results-oriented. We ask ourselves if we're accomplishing the desired result at an acceptable cost. If the answer is "no" or "we don't know," we are committed to do something about it. This volume contributes to our continuing effort to improve government's results for the American people." -- Clay Johnson III, Deputy Director for Management, Office of Management and Budget, George W. Bush Administration "The Federal government has made significant progress recently under both Republican and Democratic administrations in increasing its focus on the performance of its programs. However, developing comprehensive, effective performance management and reporting is a long term project that has only begun. This book captures the experience of the past, is invaluable for today's managers and provides a constructive framework on which to build for the future." -- John Koskinen, Deputy Director for Management, Office of Management and Budget, William J. Clinton Administration
