Read what the reviewers are saying about this insightful new book and join us for a fascinating and inspiring discussion:
 
Bridgebuilders should be on the reading list of every public official, CEO, and civic leader. It distills wisdom and best practices from decades of the global transformation from vertical to horizontal structures, offers a host of fresh insights, and explores valuable case studies. It’s a manual for all of us who seek to make democracy work for the people it’s intended to serve, nationally and globally.” —ANNE-MARIE SLAUGHTER, CEO, New America; author, The Chessboard and the Web
 
“Once in a generation, a book comes along that not only redefines an entire field of study and practice but revolutionizes it. For public management and government reform, Eggers and Kettl’s Bridgebuilders is that book! Meticulously researched, powerfully illustrated, and compel[1]lingly argued, here (finally) is the brilliant blueprint for a new, problem-solving, trust-building, and boundary-spanning approach to public leadership—exactly what’s needed in today’s free, diverse, and democratic society.” —JOHN J. DIIULIO, JR., Frederic Fox Leadership Professor of Politics, Religion, and Civil Society, University of Pennsylvania; coauthor, American Government: Institutions & Policies
