Reviews
"There is an unmistakable need for a book to guide public servants, aspiring public servants and students of government at a time when public sector institutions are being challenged on all fronts. Marland and Wesley have answered the call with a well-written and comprehensively documented contribution to the literature. --Donald J. Savoie, Canada Research Chair in Public Administration and Governance, Université de Moncton "Marland and Wesley have done a wonderful job of capturing and sharing the basic elements and essence of what it takes to succeed in a career with the Canadian public service. The authors have sprinkled their guidance with sufficient history and background stories to make this read not only informative but interesting as well. I'm confident that the Public Servant's Guide will become a companion document for many working in Canada's public sector, regardless of their level or location." --Dr. Robert P. Taylor, CEO, Institute of Public Administration of Canada " The Public Servant's Guide to Government in Canada links key ideas, institutions, and actors in public administration with what these mean for public servants who want to better understand the government(s) they serve. The authors bring concepts and practices alive with advice on how neutral, non-partisan, and loyal public servants (including those who want to become public servants) can navigate and contribute to an increasingly complex and political system of government." --Andrea Rounce, University of Manitoba "If you buy only one book as a recent grad or new public servant with the limited funds that come from student debt and contract positions, you should buy this one. I wish that I had this guide when I was starting out." --Alana Del Greco, IPAC Toronto Board Member, " The Public Servant's Guide is skillfully written, wry and sometimes funny." --Holly Doan, Blacklock's Reporter, March 2, 2019 "[This is] a book that every new and aspiring public servant should have in their learning library. Small but mighty in its 108 pages, The Public Servant's Guide provides lots of tips, advice, and learning that would take a few years on average to accumulate." --Alana Del Greco, IPAC Toronto "There is an unmistakable need for a book to guide public servants, aspiring public servants and students of government at a time when public sector institutions are being challenged on all fronts.
