With today's technological advances, public finance officers have less to process on their own and more time to dedicate to the overall picture. An essential and crucial part of the picture is management.
If you're one of these public finance officers, this book is an essential read. Though you're technically already qualified for your role, there's always room to grow-especially in the realm of leadership and management. This is both a how-to and a how-to-think guide, and in it, Edward Anthony Lehan proposes and proves how models of management thinking and subsequent behavior can aid in the productivity of your supervision of finance-related service units.
When you begin to view your supervisory role as a management role-which Lehan argues it certainty is-then you can use the strategic concepts inherent in managerial models to better address issues of cost, availability, and productivity. In using values like those of the efficacy triad, you can better recover public capital and develop yourself into a better leader.
For anyone in the public finance industry, this book is required reading.
