Public managers provide fair and competent
service or advice to all citizens and officials. Officials are asked to promote and
act for the agency on the basis of the good of agency and merit, not primary
affiliations. The modem evolution of the classic model accepts that public management
is imbedded in an accountability structure linked to law, constitutional
guarantees, oversight, and hierarchy. It seeks to incorporate long-term, national or
international dimensions of management. It offers continuity and an ethos of
impartial and fair service and has been forced to work aggressively to build
inclusive personnel policies that respond to gender and other diversity critiques.
