245 _aThe public administrator as hero
520 _aThis article uses the framework of "the hero's journey" to analyze the experiences of administrators who have helped to revitalize the public sector. The administrators discusses are not famour people. They are professionals who have gone beyond the boundary of routine public sector experience and achievement. The stages of their journeys - the call to adventure, the ordeal, and the return - can be used to interpret and guide behaviour of other public administrators. Reproduced
