Summary:

The Handbook of Federal Government Leadership and Administration is a state-of-the-art guide to the unique features of federal administration, informed by the latest theoretical developments, research, and practical applications and the leadership and management of federal agencies. Written by "pracademics" to be Jargon-free, this handbook bridges the gap between academic and applied public administration by identifying what resonates with practitioners as they search for usable theories and research findings to improve performance. Combining rigor and relevance in the study and practice of federal administration, it includes chapters on theory, history, reform initiatives, leadership, necessary skill sets, budgeting, power and influence, political embeddedness, change management, separated and shared executive legislative, and judicial powers effective communication, ethics, and emerging concepts and challenges. It will be essential reading for federal practitioners, scholars, and those who fall somewhere in between. Book jacket.
