Empowering Bureaucrats for Better Government Performance â Dan Honig
Season finale! It is my great pleasure to welcome back a person I have very much enjoyed speaking with earlier- Dan Honig (danhonig.info/bio) , an Associate Professor of Public Policy at University College London and Georgetown McCourt School of Public Policy (@rambletastic) ( rambletastic) . His latest book is Mission Driven Bureaucrats: Empowering People To Help Government Do Better (danhonig.info/missiondrivenbureaucrats) . Mission-driven bureaucrats, according to Dan, are individuals who work within the bureaucracy with a genuine desire to serve their organization's mission of helping citizens. They perform their jobs out of a strong belief in their purpose, rather than being driven by a set of rules or incentives that compel them to act in specific ways. But what are the historical roots of the term "mission," and how can mission-driven bureaucrats thrive? The book argues that the key to better government lies in empowerment and trust, rather than stricter controls and more rigorous oversight.

The liberal international order, characterized by rules-based multilateralism and values such as openness and representation, is often portrayed in terms of multiple crises. These crises, often analyzed from a Western perspective, include the reduced support of some Western powers towards certain multilateral institutions and the establishment of new ones by rising powers. However, these narrat...

The ever-evolving world of global power dynamics is characterized by the complex relationships between large economies such as the United States and China and how these interactions are perceived and navigated by countries in the Global South.

A central theme in Ian Shapiro's extensive body of research is the concept of domination, which captures the reactive nature of human beings towards power structures. Unlike traditional political theories that imagine societies designing just orders from scratch, Ian argues that political institutions evolve in response to the rejection of unacceptable power dynamics. This reactive nature is ev...

A common concern voiced by leaders in many developing nations is the deterioration of their road systems and the apparent hesitance of the international community to fund infrastructure improvements.

The continued reliance on a "business as usual" model is insufficient for countering the detrimental consequences of global warming.

The political landscape of Latin America has undergone major transformation since the democratization wave of the 1980s and 1990s.

what a content that needs serious publications... I love the honest of Dr Jeffrey.. poking the elite that are massive contributors of inequality and sluggish SDGS
The whole world didn't agree on anything in 2015. A bunch of fat cats who've never done a lick of real work in their lives agreed to depopulate the world and enslave the survivors, all by 2030.
Make all the plans you want. Christ is King and He wins in the end. Deep down, all of your kind know this. Repent. Reject your current master (you know who that is) and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
I'm from The US, I'm very upset with my government. I am.
It is so hard to tell who to trust. That's why i study everyday.
During the pandemic, public schools provided food. That food is terrible.
If I ate everyday, I would be sick. I wasn't sick at all since 2020. I eat well. Take care of myself.
I can buy fresh food.
Agree. Chopping down forests. How can they survive? It's easy for us to say.
It was given out bars approved my governor. That's insane to me.
Free shot of alcohol.
And fast food gift certificates given out as an incentive. Fast food is not food. Inner cities
Fresh healthy food is so important.
I wonder why can provide healthy fresh food as charity. We pay enough taxes.
Cant
No comment on the vaxxx.
I appreciate the way you explained it.
It was so unprofessional the way it was handled here.
I don't understand UNESCO heritage sites. I always see it down my newsfeed.
Ian Shapiro covered it. Over correction? I'm not an intellectual. Disclaimer
Obviously âĪ
I leave too many comments. Hehe
Listening
Savior Projection
I find citizens blame leaders as being corrupt when they themselves are corrupt. Leaders reflect the masses.
You are saying it nicely. Hehe
This is so much better. Staying on your channel for a bit.
I was getting ill.
I can't stomach geopolitics today. Moved here.
Thank you. Listening
I looked up his profile. He seemed like a beautiful man with exquisite taste in women and The Common Good.
Like Weiqi, teach me.
Impressive credentials
Listening. Thank you
Listening. Thank you
Somewhere on TH-cam Dr Shapiro has a series of 10 lessons given to a Yale class. Incredibly good.
Great podcast. Thanks!
Rest in peace
I'm sorry to hear that. I just found him. His work will live on. Swift way home. May he be carried by angels.
So a hand full of eggheads will decide whats bests for the world!
I think of Weiqi. Those that win, Deserve to win.
The US doesn't practice its Mission Statement.
I live in NJ. I'm seeking refugee status to leave. Kind of joking.
SWOT
Quality is not based of views. It is a shame.
I found your channel now! âĪ
Thank you
My career has been in social work. LCSW. I left the field 4 years ago. Not an academic. An idealist in a way.
I would watch Ian Shapiro especially today. On the TV right now, Savior Projection. Identity Politics.
It's depressing observing it. I just study.
Professor Shapiro never goes into elevating a victim mindset.
Now I'm subscribed to your channel.
He explained The Bridge to Nowhere. âĪ
I shared his classes numerous times. The masses want an easy summary that already confirm their bias.
My comments increase algorithms.
You just mentioned Rwanda. âĪ
He is so balanced. Objective. Beyond refreshing.
I could praise him all day. I read Germinal because of him. I never heard of the book.
Such wisdom. I deeply respect wisdom.
He changed my ENTIRE perspective. I'm grateful!
My condolences.
I'm an Ian Shapiro groupie. I admit it.
Good to see a "large picture" perspective finding articulation .missing: the role of the Church in motivating and in a sense giving the brief to the executive to go and "save the heathens".
Ultimately, very few places effectively "contained" Covid. The US didn't do a great job, but it did better than a lot of the doomers were arguing and predicting early on.
