Policy and Institutional Studies: The President's Call : Executive Leadership from FDR to George Bush by Judith E. Michaels (1997, Hardcover)

About this product

Product Information

Since the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, political appointees have increased dramatically in number and infiltrated deeply into the ranks of the federal bureaucracy. Along with this development, a conventional political wisdom has taken hold that defines the typical appointee as a political hack, usually a large contributor or loyal worker for the president's party, holding a job for which he or she is not qualified. They are thought to possess limited knowledge of and commitment to government, more dedicated to their own goals and resumes than to the competent management of their agency. The difficulty of challenging this wisdom comes from what we don't know about the recent appointees themselves. Who were they? Where did they come from? Why did they choose to respond to their president's call?
