Being a Chief Executive in a local authority can be described by many adjectives, but one of the most commonly used, some may argue, is lonely. This book is an attempt by two chief executives to recognize and restrict that loneliness, using their own experiences and that of others to portray some of the issues and implications of life as the head of the local government paid service in a helpful and practical manner. The book is a guide to the role of chief executive in a local authority. The personal demands of the role are discussed, and the various relationships, with the political leadership, chief officers, trade unions, press and employees generally are appraised. This book should be useful reading for any current or aspiring chief executive.

This is the story of an ascent to power, with no pretense to complete biography. My purpose is to draw an informed, thoughtful portrait of the relatively unknown man who became Secretary of State in the Reagan administration and who moved through the highest levels of American government for more than a decade before. It is a portrayal of who he is, what he represents, and how he rose to high office; of the forces and experiences that shaped him; of the quality of his mind and of his public service; of what we might expect of a career and potential still unfinished. The narrative traces the general''s progress to the Senate confirmation in early 1981, and deals only incidentally with the events of the first year in the State Department. - Preface.
