This article follows in perfect juxtaposition to yesterday’s posting about pay-for-performance being here to stay. 

True, Ward Mannering’s article in Government Executive by  is rather cynical, but I believe a careful reading would be enlightening and beneficial.  Ward’s on point about ineffective systems, window-dressing approaches, and empty solutions.  At least, that’s my take on the world.

Thirteen years ago, I wrote an essay prescribing management essentials.  My article addresses more steps than Mr. Mannering’s, but he and I are largely on the same wavelength.
