A PROCESS TO WATCH OUT FOR – Director Creative Arts & Cultural Services

Click on the image to enlarge

It is interesting to see this advertisement in the press today. Looking to the future here it seems that the City of Launceston is mindlessly stumbling down the path where management gets mixed up with governance to make an unholy soup that is likely one day to lead to yet another expensive but totally avoidable mistake – stuffup in other words.

Public Administration 101 has told us for a long time that management's role is to implement the strategic policy determinations of governance. Here the applicant is required, it seems, to show leadership while possessing a "strategic perspective" not to mention, have the ability to predict the future.

With what is on display here Launcestonians need to grit their teeth and pray even if its not something they do all that often. 

Those overseeing this process will not be, and are not, paying for it. Ratepayers and residents will as always be paying up and as always there has been no inclination whatsoever to take them, or anyone representing them, into the decision making tent.
