Managing government employees presents unique challenges. Government managers may feel that stringent and convoluted regulations mean they "canÂ’t do that." Some others may use that perception as a crutch. But the truth for all of them is, yes, they can "do that" -- and theyÂ’d better. "That" means managing employees as proactively and decisively as their corporate counterparts, and holding their staffs, teams, and departments accountable for productivity and results.

Major topics include how to:
* get maximum dedication and productivity from employees
* improve results of poor performers and discipline or fire them when necessary
* deal with union and EEO issues
* cut through the red tape of government employment systems For managers frustrated by government bureaucracy.
