"High praise for the new book which addresses the importance of different public service approaches. Empowering Public Administrators: Ethics and Public Services Values is a must read book for anyone wanting to understand the complexities, nuances and the creation of public service approaches from ontology and epistemology perspectives. Olejarksi and Neal have sagely assembled a collection of chapters that are both thought-provoking and also very useful from an organizational level."
