Every day, new recruits join two million Aussie public servants striving to help our country thrive. But whether you're in local, state or federal government, without a roadmap it's easy to get overwhelmed, lose hope, and quit. Unless you have guides.

With wit and insight, two career public servants lay out what you need to know to make your mark in government:

Why public servants are critical to solving Australia's big challenges How to master your greatest asset - yourself How to attract powerful allies to your cause The architecture of all problems (and how to solve them)
