A smart dude who has worked in both the biz world and gov’t e-mails:

Interesting, but pathetically naive.
How many times have we seen calls from folks (who usually have no clue about how business, let along govt really works) for a business exec to come in and take charge of govt and then things would really work, etc, etc? Answer: lots (remembere the Packard Commission, the Grace Commission, the calls for Lee Iaccocca in the 80’s, etc)
How many times has a great biz exec actually made a big difference in the govt by applying “best practices” to govt?: Answer: 0
The real story is businesses and governments need to be taken on their own terms. Businesses are not nearly as effective and efficient as people think (but the good ones do figure out how to make money or raise value) and govt’s are not so ineffective as folks think.
