The public servant as analyst, adviser, and advocate

Abstract

Much of the work of public officials -elected or appointed -involves choices amongst values; indeed, it is this characteristic of their role in a liberal democracy that often makes their decisions contestable, debateable and requiring public justification.Therefore, nothing is more dangerous to the well-being of the body politic than a public official who is technically competent or strategically astute but ethically illiterate or unfit.(Preston 1994, p. 1).
