New this month     Bridgebuilders: How Government Can Transcend Boundaries to Solve Big Problems William D. Eggers and Donald F. Kettl argue that in the face of ever more complex societal challenges, we need a government of bridgebuilders who collaborate with partners—inside and outside government—to get the job done. These leaders manage horizontally instead of vertically; they see their role as connectors; and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the unprecedented problems at hand. Bridgebuilders provides an essential new model for transforming the public sector.     BUY NOW       Order for your team and save
