Government That Works, The Results Revolution in the States, is the story of public servants at every level of state government, across the nation, who are transforming government. With real-world, hands-on stories from states including in part Oregon, Michigan, Maryland, Colorado, Tennessee, Washington, and New Mexico, the book chronicles the emerging best practices in results-driven government. Government That Works includes practical tools in use to implement sweeping cultural change by shifting the system of management from one that is reactionary to a system driven by clear goals and specific measures that gauge progress. The book addresses how a management system is what coalesces everything from being customer driven, to lean, and balanced scorecards, to regulatory reform, project management and employee engagement.

The framers of the U.S. Constitution created a blueprint for government unlike any other in history, maximizing individual freedom and building a powerful nation. But in times of ideological partisanship, their visionary purpose is often obscured by disinformation spread by pundits and politicians. "How Our Government Really Works" provides an antidote to such manipulations and misunderstandings. By examining divisive issues like federalism, checks and balances, activist vs. traditionalist judges, and the roles of Congress, the president, the federal bureaucracy and the, it articulates what our framers meant and provides readers with an understanding of the way our system of government is intended to work.
