Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-11 00:00:00 Anthony Parker Today, 21 May I finished my second book by Stewart Liff. This one is titled: Managing Government Employees (2007©). It was Mr. Liff's first book, so I've actually read them out of sequence. This book was easily on a par with my last reading (Managing Your Government Career). In fact, I'd say it was better in some ways because it gave more specific information. Whereas the earlier reading was really for all government employees, this is more to the needs of folks in supervisory and management positions. Again, I would highly recommend this work to any and all government leadership. Between the two works, I am more and more convinced I need to get some time in Labor and Employee Relations and then get a detail out in the field. There is NO substitute for program time if you want to get ahead in the government.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-07-29 00:00:00 Jes Kruger Thorough guide to managing a government agency Even within the labyrinth of a government agency, a good manager can inspire people and get great results. Stewart Liff draws on his 32-year government career to show you how to increase the productivity of your government agency or organization. For instance, he explains how managers' fear of taking decisive action can cause government inefficiencies, particularly in maintaining a responsive workforce. Liff provides detailed descriptions of typical employment challenges and offers resolutions gleaned from his considerable experience. His approach enlivens what could easily be a dull lesson, particularly in regard to navigating labor issues. For government professionals in management and human resources, getAbstract recommends this clarifying, nuts-and-bolts guide to managing government employees.
