Summary: Great Thoughts That Did Not Take Root in USG
Comment: Well, the Vice President loved it and the President bought into it, but it did not make a difference.

I suspect it has something to do with one of the fundamentals: "Unleash-but Harness-the Pioneers." The U.S. Intelligence Community can't stand pioneers unless they are spending billions of dollars on something really, really secret that has a high probability of failure. Reinvention boils down to uncoupling or deconstructing a whole bunch of stuff, and then allowing the pieces to compete. It requires managers that can "let go" and employees that can "take hold."

Summary: Dilbert in Government
Comment: If you work in a school or another government institution, and if every Dilbert cartoon is one you want to cut out and post, then read this book.
Working in an absurd environment is funny on the surface but it also can be deeply depressing. This books shows us how we can do something about it.
This is a handbook for fighting the good fight for the return of a little sanity in the government workplace.

Summary: More tired management gobbledgook
