Warren Master replied to the topic The Next Level of Green Power! in the forum Code Green 7 years, 10 months ago
Henry, does DOE have any case illustration vignettes (perhaps with a photo or two)at the state and/or local level that can be shared with a national or even international audience? ASPA (http://www.aspaonline.org) and The Public Manager (http://www.thepublicmanager.org) have several online, interactive vehicles to help get these stories out to a larger public…[Read more]

Warren Master replied to the topic What Is a “Best Practice”? in the forum Budget / Performance 9 years, 3 months ago
For me, the best “best practices” are those arrived at inductively (i.e., plucked out of actual use by real managers in real organizations) as opposed to some deductively arrived at, theoretical scheme that no manager has ever tried and “demonstrated” succes with. By analogy, consider the Friday night TV sports cast, in which the sportscaster…[Read more]

Here’s an invitation from The Public Manager (http://www.thepublicmanager.org). We’re introducing a new series for CY 2010 on agency flagship initiatives that best exemplify the benefits of the federal government’s new open government directive. I would welcome individual case illustrations, bundled vignettes representing a cross-section of examples,…[Read more]

Warren Master replied to the topic What’s the Biggest Difference Between Federal, State, and Local Government? in the forum Forum Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
Biggest differences remain: 1) federal provides financial resources (with strings); 2) state provides technical guidance & assistance (with their spin); and local gets things done (e.g., providing services – oftentimes through community-based, nonprofits). Granted, things are not always this cut and dry, but this preliminary analytic approach…[Read more]

Great graphic. Whose is it? I would love to use it in our next quarterly issue of The Public Manager that deals with the theme of collaboration.

Warren Master replied to the topic Keys to Collaboration in the forum Forum Discussions 10 years, 1 month ago
I think this exchange, now into its 2nd week, reflects at least 2 divergent takes on “collaboration.” One revolves around the end of organizations’ and individual public managers’ willingness to work across boundaries to achieve common goals – sharing responsibility, resources, information, etc. The other has to do with the means of using…[Read more]

Sarah, I would very much like to learn more about what PCI has done in Oregon and Utah. Would you be interested in doing an article(s) with state & local counterparts for The Public Manager (http://www.thepublicmanager.org)? In fact, you may also want to participate remotely (through an online webcam arrangement) in our fall conference scheduled for…[Read more]

Sometimes it takes mentoring up (from young professionals, for example) to get executives and upper management to promote (and count) a culture of collaboration.

Michael Jordan described it best when Phil Jackson became coach of the Chicago Bulls and taught them how to perform as a ‘dream team.” In Sacred Hoops, Jackson tells how his Zen-style coaching helped transform the Bulls’ play and take them from the NBA’s cellar to an almost unbeatable champion team. Jordan learned that personally scoring 60 points…[Read more]

Warren Master replied to the topic Change in the forum Miscellaneous 10 years, 4 months ago
Steve, as you know, improving trust in government is the focus of our fall conference (http://improvedgov.ning.com). This piece on trust being eroded by the increasing pace and scope of change and turnover in new technologies echoes Toffler’s observations from Future Shock to The Third Wave. Although, I suspect the refrain “trust will be the new…[Read more]

In fact, we have a conference coming up in Washington DC this Novmeber – Strengthening Trust in Government: Openig Dialogues, Building Collaborations.

@3jk9uhzdrz08oKathe, any more thought on whether you have time to contribute to the strategic public management book Howard Balanoff and I are collaborating on? Your insights into exemplary executive public sector leadership would fit in very nicely. Cheers, Warren
