Democracy is at risk as trust in our government continues to decline. This book shows how to strategically and systemically advance a high-performance public service culture built on instilling meaning, purpose, and pride. The simple, yet incredibly powerful concept of bolstering organizational culture with inspired public service can be foundational to restoring trust in government, a pillar to reinforcing democracy.
Leaders sincerely focused on the power of public service can improve government performance and build grassroots solutions to achieve bipartisan outcomes. Built on real-world experience, Wright provides instructive and entertaining guidance for public sector leaders-and potential leaders-about how to overcome negative societal perceptions, lead with time-honored values and informed decisions, and more broadly, rebuild confidence in government.
