The Changing Public Service: Looking Back…Moving Forward
Had I been more prescient, I might have been an elder statesman of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) myself, because I was at the meetings in 1939 of the American Political Science Association at which the organization meetings took place. I also attended the meeting the second day. This I did to hear one of the distinguished seniors at that time, Charles Beard, who made a memorable address beginning with a booming Fellow trav…
Administrative Management: Reflections on Origins and Accomplishments
This is a propitious year to examine the executive role of the U.S. presidency and the kind of administrative management staff needed to cope in the future. To prepare for the future, people should understand the past. This article describes the creation of the Administrative Management Division in the U.S. Bureau of the Budget in 1939 and how it served Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S Truman through my tenure as its head until the sp…
Managing the Large Organization: Issues, Ideas, Precepts, Innovations
Innovative Organizations Require Innovative Managers
A first-rate executive or manager will attract and appoint other first-rate persons. A second rater will gather third raters, while a third rater can enlist only fifth raters. The employment and promotion of mediocre and inferior public executives and managers is due to some combination of: (1) political and other kinds of patronage, (2) failure to pinpoint the abilities required, (3) non-rigorous methods in recruitment and evaluating competencie…
Education for Public Service: An Assessment of Developments and Needs
Creation of Administrative Capability: The Missing Ingredient in Development Strategy
This chapter describes the crucial importance of increasing the administrative capability (operational effectiveness) of national, regional and local governments if development is to be accelerated in Africa.

The Impact of U.S. Assistance Programs on the Political and Economic Integration of Western Europe
World War II left Europe economically bankrupt, politically paralyzed, and spiritually sick. In contrast, we find today—thanks to the leaven of the Marshall Plan and other U. S. assistance, and the self-help and mutual-help measures of Western European countries—a vastly improved Continent of Europe. First , economic collapse has been avoided. The mills, plants, and shops in most countries are humming as they never did before. The current output …
The Application of Scientific Management Principles to International Administration
When we consider the problem of governments collaborating through international organizations, we tend to think only in terms of foreign policy and of issues involving conflict among countries. This is, of course, natural since these are the questions uppermost in the news. But there is another side to international collaboration. If international organizations are to be successful in dealing with world problems, the policy organs through which n…

Organizing the United Nations
HE United Nations presents the range of constitutional, organizational, and administrative problems found in any federal, state, or local government, plus additional ones resulting from its international character. Because of the international character of the organization and the complexity of its structure, it will take an exceptional amount of executive leadership and skill to make the UN work from a purely administrative standpoint. Let us lo…

Police Recruiting and Training
During the past few years, we have frequently heard it repeated that police work is a calling. At a meeting of the joint committee of the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the American Bar Association, it was recommended that The heads of police departments should in all cases be men of police training and experience; preferably men experienced in the community whose department they are chosen to head. It seems to me that the two …
Practical Use of Police Records System
utilizing the Division's facilities on January 1, 1933, realize that its cooperation is a potent weapon in effective law enforcement. It is interesting to observe that several of the 24 states which maintain state bureaus of identification require in their own statutes that fingerprints shall be forwarded to the Division in the cases of individuals arrested within their jurisdiction charged with various offenses. While there is no Federal Law req…
