Performance Management for Political Executives: A 'Start Where You Are, Use What You Have' Guide

Wye describes how political executives can overcome common problems in the design, alignment, use, and communication of performance measures and information. The report links performance-based management to the higher calling of public service and provides a meaningful rationale as to why political executives should care about performance-based management. In the past, political appointees have traditionally focused primarily on the political agenda, without much attention given to management responsibilities. The report offers specific advice on actions and approaches career executives can take to address management challenges.
