Abstract

A newly promoted assistant deputy minister of business and trade must decide which of two candidates to recommend for her previous role as executive director, business and consumer regulation. One candidate is creative, innovative, client focused and an inspirational and charismatic leader with a history of ''ruffling some feathers'' with other departments within the government. The other candidate seems to lack drive and innovativeness but has earned the respect of his team and others within various government departments with whom he has interacted. This appointment is being made at a time of change within the government as it faces severe budgetary pressures and believes that there are opportunities to do many of its traditional functions in new, more cost-effective ways.
