- catalog abstract "Government can make things work. Bright ideas and policy choices may grab all the attention, but they are not enough to produce policy success. Management matters because that is often where policy and programs succeed or fail. In this inspiring look at leadership and management in government, Martin A. Levin and Mary Bryna Sanger demonstrate that innovative policy programs are only as good as the managerial skills of the executives who carry them out. They detail the key characteristics of successful innovations and the managerial skills of effective government entrepreneurs. Making Government Work uses success stories drawn from a broad range of innovative public programs and agencies to reveal how executives bring about public sector innovation, and the ways in which every public manager can improve public performance.".
