Knowledge of Public Administration
"One can never consent to creep when one feels the compulsion to soar"
-Helen Keller
Public Managers today must possess a diverse
knowledge base relevant to their respective fields. In
the age of “reinventing government” we as administrators
are
being called higher in our understanding of not only the
practical aspects of public administration, but our
macro-level understanding of how public agencies
operate.
To this end, I have explored a variety of
topics and theories including: the roots of modern
democracy, budgeting purposes and trends, leadership and
management, nonprofit functions, and personnel
management theory that have provided me with the
foundation to apply myself in any situation. Here are
some written examples of work I have done.
