Cheryl Simrell King, Lisa A. Zanetti

Reviews

"King and Zanetti challenge public servants to dream as do eight distinctly non-traditional change agents. The authors, and the role models they profile so well, force us to reconsider dated societal assumptions in favor of somewhat subversive commitments to the common good--such as justice, community and consensus. By transforming the assumptions under which we teach public administration and public service, this book will enliven the classroom, ultimately transforming careers, programs and outcomes in and out of government."
