- Just out: our latest article in Open Access with @pmreview.bsky.social on how top public servants in 🇨🇦 & 🇮🇹 use their time and what that means for executive management styles. PS: there's lots more (who they meet, what they do to keep current, etc.) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....Jul 11, 2025 19:46
- We surveyed Deputy Ministers 🇨🇦 and Directors General 🇮🇹 and organized their time in 4 main 'baskets' (Strategic, Administrative, Structural and Relational) based on their answers. Administration (approving & reviewing, anyone?) still drains most of their time.
- But ,we can think of these folks on a matrix of their goals and their managerial approach and try to make sense of their approaches.
- We found, somewhat surprisingly, that there is a remarkable degree of the convergence between these two groups, notwithstanding the obvious institutional and historical differences. DGs and DMs gravitate towards a relational-administrative managerial style.
