Description: Compelled to resign to quiet the election year uproar over the management of a training conference in Las Vegas, Martha Johnson, former Administrator of GSA (2010-2012), reveals the larger story of innovation underway in the agency. "On My Watch" illuminates her tenure in the Obama Administration and explains her leadership strategies of interruption, transparency, design, and blockbuster moves in the face of bureaucratic myopia, alongside her highly personal story of resilience, providing valuable lessons for leaders who want to make a big difference in the world.--Publisher.
