Roberson

Tracy Morgan Intro- Public Administration (PA301) Instructor Travis Forbes Sept, 12 2011 There were a few elements I noticed, and reflected upon while reading William Robertson mannikin of Politics and Public Management Rightly Understood, that I felt he drew upon, to help him success enoughy run the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services. Roberson utilised people, place, physical technology, and personality, which were the specific elements that Gaus had mentioned. Lets discuss how each answer in Mr. Robertsons life was important in reaching his goal, amongst the footling term goals that were achieved because of his cogency to rails.While reading Mr. Robertsons story you could already traction that he was a strong, yet influential leader, who believed through his military training, that you should lead from the front. Therefore be on the same level as your subordinates, so you can understand their needs, in order to meet and exceed them, for upper limit mission effectiveness co uld be achieved with few discrepancies. He also furthered his knowledge, not for the sake of promotion, but to have a better perspective of what was pass to be needed in the future, to perform better in his traffic on alone levels.So in case a situation arose, he would not be thrown off guard, but have the ability to correctly assess, identify, implement, and evaluate the situation, on behalf of the public, and city. Being in a mountainous city, such as Los Angeles, afforded Mr. Robertson the prime opportunity to shine, because he was always surround by all the elements, which included him walking into public council meetings that were normally full of disgruntled people, but with his ability to converse (or manipulate as approximately would say), therefore leaving many of them thanking him.It could even be coined as a slight form of social technology. He was able to accomplish all this by informing and educating, the people, and council of his duties, so when barriers were p ut in place, he and his police squad could work together on empowering the public to make better decisions, or be better prepared for the political battles that would surely arise, for the need for sustenance was on the table. Robersons judgment alone ancelled out Arnsteins run away of participation by, inadvertently giving more power to the people with knowledge, and abilities. And as a result the council members showed a little more insight, and support to Robertson, than what they did to his counterparts, thus leading to him to develop physical technologies in paving neighborhoods with limited funding, and shut up not overcrowding the streets with workers.
