The Effective Local Government Manager, 3rd Edition

By: N. Joseph Cayer,Raymond W. Cox III,Charldean Newell

The Effective Local Government Manager, 3rd Edition, reflects the rich history and modern reinvention of a profession that sprang up at the beginning of the twentieth century. What does it mean to be a local government manager in today’s world? What can a manager accomplish? What internal as well as external resources must the manager harness? What motivates the manager’s employers, colleagues, and employees? For the student contemplating a career as a manager in public service, The Effective Local Government Manager is almost obligatory reading. Many instructors have built introductory courses on local government management around The Effective Local Government Manager. For the young assistant in a city or county, or for the mid-career manager assessing new challenges, The Effective Local Government Manager offers insights on your role and how you can best serve your community. It explores the manager’s many roles and responsibilities—interacting with the community, the governing body, local government employees, and other governments. It offers the most up-to-date theory and practice of local government as well as tools of management. This book is used as a text in ICMA University's Emerging Leaders Development Program.

City Executives

Leadership Roles, Work Characteristics, and Time Management

By: David N. Ammons,Charldean Newell

This study explores the work life of mayors, city managers, and other top executives in city government. Based on a survey of 527 city executives and enlivened with numerous anecdotes, the book documents time allocation patterns and work routines. City Executives makes comparisons with previous studies to show how city executives compare with managers in other types of organizations. The authors also note how city managers' role has changed over a 20-year period. City executives are shown to be like their private-sector counterparts. For example, they function at a relentless pace, are frequently interrupted in their work, and are generally overburdened. However, because city workers operate in an environment open to public scrutiny, they are left with only a minority of their professional time to attend to matters that they describe as priorities. Instead, they must constantly respond to intergovernmental demands, emergencies, and the needs of citizens and legislative officials.

Contracting for Trash

Cases in Effectiveness: Policy Implementation, Productivity, and Program Evaluation

By: Scott D. Lazenby,Charldean Newell

Managing Local Government: Cases in Effectiveness: Policy Implementation, Productivity, and Program Evaluation: Contracting for Trash poses an analytical problem that will face most if not all county and city governments: how to find the best (i.e., the most cost-efficient and effective) system for collecting residential trash. This e-book also examines a service delivery option that local governments are considering with increasing frequency: contracting with a private firm to provide a public service-in this case, the collection of the city's residential trash.
