PRAISE FOR TEAM BUSH

"This short book is long on insight, both for government leaders seeking to learn leadership lessons from effective CEOs and for business leaders seeking to learn the same lessons from effective leaders in government."

-STEVEN KELMAN, Weatherhead Professor of Public Management, The John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

"Kettl provides a lively, insightful and sympathetic distillation of the surprisingly effective leadership style of President George W. Bush."

-THOMAS E. MANN, W. Averell Harriman Chair in Governance Studies, The Brookings Institution

"Management matters, in politics and government as much as in business and commerce. In clear language and with a slew of examples, Team Bush concisely dissects the management style that has helped President George W. Bush to sustain his public approval and achieve both political and policy success."

-NORMAN J. ORNSTEIN, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute
