An Insider's Guide To The Bureaucracy
Stop laughing! This book is meant to be a serious, concerned look at the democratic process not working - in government and bureaucracy. It is a practical person's approach and guide on how to get things done when dealing with government and bureaucracy.
David Bardas, former boss of the Sportsgirl/Sportscraft group and Melbourne City Councillor, would sit at meetings and briefings at the Town Hall and wonder what his children would have thought of their representatives - these grown-ups playing word games, talking and saying little and qualifying what they were saying, and fence-sitting without urgency or priorities.
This book illustrates his observations and frustrations with government from a business perspective. It is both concerning and humorous. He makes a number of recommendations for a more efficient democratic system of government for future generations.
