Building a Winning Culture in Government
The Ultimate Mission Essential
by Patrick Leddin and Shawn Moon
It’s no surprise that many government employees are less engaged than ever before and that leaders feel helpless to change the situation.
In many cases, employees and leaders are caught in a vicious cycle. Performance declines, scrutiny increases, and employee paralysis ensues. Repeat.
How do you break this cycle? You change the mindset from “leaders are a select few in the organization” to “everyone can and should be a leader.” Winning Culture in Government shows how this simple yet significant shift is key to creating an effective government organization in the 21st century.
Patrick wrote this book while in his role as Director of Strategic Partnerships at the FranklinCovey Company.
