It's the way you say it that counts

Article Abstract:

Public service managers run organisations similar to large companies but they need to add political awareness to their management skills, while being apolitical. They need to understand the political process by putting themselves in the elected member's place and to handle the uncertainty which affects management decisions. Clear concise advice to the elected members is appreciated. Good communication skills, process and the requirement to fulfil multiple objectives are important.
