Summary:Whether Sen. John Kerry or President Bush prevails in the election, the next president will wrestle with some of the most extraordinary challenges any chief executive has ever faced in areas such as homeland security, bioterrorism, health care and fiscal management. Effective management initiatives are critical to constructively addressing these daunting challenges. And the 4 cornerstones to implementing those initiatives can form the foundation for a president's management triumphs: 1. Be a creative, determined leader. 2. Raise the visibility of critical management initiatives. 3. Bring management-related policies down to ground level. 4. Create an atmosphere of bipartisan, intergovernmental collaboration. These 4 cornerstones should form the foundation for the management agenda of whoever resides in the White House in January 2005, because that is where management starts - 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
