But at the same time, ﬂexibility when it comes to things like work schedules and leave can be hard to come by. The stereotype of government work is that it’s drudgery, but only from 9 to 5. In fact, that’s less true than it used to be, while in many organizations the rule-driven nature of government employment remains the same. E XECUTIVE COACH govexec.com/management/executive-coach When you’re taking on the work of becoming a more effective leader, you will want to focus on adopting or changing one or two behaviors that will make the biggest difference. You also, though, need to focus on the perceptions that others have of your behaviors. RE ADER COMMENTS On government work: “If every voting American had some experience in federal service they might vote smarter and there might be a possibility of smarter legislation to deal with wasteful employees.” Correction: The July article “Delivering the Future” attributed $3.3 billion in U.S. Postal Service losses to the wrong quarter.
