Summary

"Using a compass as his operating metaphor - your boss is north of you, your staff is south, colleagues are east, and so on - Richard Haass provides clear, practical guidelines for setting goals and translating goals into results. The result is a lively, useful book for the tens of millions of Americans working in government at the local, state, and federal level, in unruly organizations of every sort, and for students of both public administration and business."--BOOK JACKET.
