Why Public Administrators Need to Be Great Storytellers

James-Christian Blockwood is joined by Michael Keegan, host of The Business of Government Hour and Dave Martin, host of The Good Government Show. Michael and Dave have interviewed hundreds of public administrators, government workers, and agency heads in their careers, at every level. What do the best public administrators have in common? Why is storytelling more important to public service workers than it's ever been? And how do we help the best stories find their way to the biggest audiences? Management Matters is a presentation of the National Academy of Public Administration produced by Lizzie Alwan and Matt Hampton and edited by Matt Hampton.
