Better Government through Better Hiring

The author uses stories, quotes and humor to take readers on an otherwise unpleasant journey. The starting point is replacing an election system that culminated in a disgraceful and divisive transition of power in January of 2021. This book is not about tinkering with our election system. It is about scrapping a dysfunctional system and creating an entirely new system.

Better Government Through Better Hiring explains how we can improve our catastrophic political climate by changing our thinking and changing the way we do things. Specifically, it advocates the incorporation of the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM), originally introduced by Dr. W. Edwards Deming in the business sector, into the political arena. If you are unfamiliar with TQM, the material on this topic alone will be well worth your time. It can be used by anyone solving any problem.

This book also covers other useful material on hiring philosophies and practices since electing a political figure is an act of hiring. That information can also be used by anyone looking for work and anyone looking for workers. There is one main objective and one proposal in the book. The objective is to start America on a path out of the trouble caused by political dissention and gridlock. The proposal is to establish a commission to evaluate and change our election system so that it has the potential to put the leaders we need in office, leaders who can solve problems.
