About this book
Acknowledgements
The authors would like to acknowledge and thank the many people who have supported and encouraged us, especially those who reviewed and provided invaluable feedback on early drafts, and of course our families.
Our key thanks to Thea Snow, who has been an integral part of the journey to develop this playbook, and has contributed enormously to the approach, design and planning. She has been invaluable and we appreciate her contributions greatly. Our further thanks for their direct contributions to
Anna Zhu, Dennis Petrie, Karen Joyce, Donald S Williams and Pierre Skorich, for proofreading and extensive editing to Shelby Canterford, and for feedback to Tim De Sousa, Possum Hogkin, Neil Bouwer, Anita Fraser and many others. Our final thanks, of course, to Peter Gearin and The Mandarin for their important work reporting on, supporting and raising the aspirations of the public sector in Australia.
