Harvard’s teaching strategy is unique. The faculty — Bob, Julie, and Malcolm — don’t lecture at you. They challenge you: ‘What results should this manager produce?’ ‘Why?’ ‘How?’ You have to be prepared. You have to read the cases. More importantly, you have to think. Finally, it inspired me to come back and make a difference."

This is an excellent and ambitious book. It digs deeply into understanding how dedicated efforts at performance measurement can dramatically improve service quality in public agencies.At a superficial level, it’s a matter of getting the metrics right and tracking them in real time. But at a deeper level, these numbers need to be monitored by managers who know and care about achieving results and who can lead others in their organizations in the same direction.”
