    [synopsis] => Ruth Hubbard est une praticienne, une conseillère, une exploratrice et une écrivaine publiée sur les défis de la gouvernance et de la gestion, en particulier dans les secteurs public et sans but lucratif. Elle a été sous-ministre fédérale pendant plus de dix ans, lors de la mise en œuvre de la taxe sur la valeur ajoutée (TPS) au Canada. Plus tard, elle a été maître de la Monnaie royale canadienne et présidente de la Commission de la fonction publique. Elle a été chargée de recherche principale au Centre sur la gouvernance et à l'École supérieure d'affaires publiques et internationales de l'Université d'Ottawa de 2002 à 2017. Ruth Hubbard is Senior Research Fellow at the Centre on Governance of the University of Ottawa. She served for more than a decade as a federal deputy minister in the Government of Canada. Profession: Public Servant offers glimpses into the federal government's corridors of power during a decade of profound change and underscores the importance of learning for individuals, groups, and organizations in today's fast-paced world. It sets out a former deputy minister's take on the "burden of office" of the role and in the difficulties of staying out of one ditch-excessive concern with safeguarding a few key principles-without sliding into another-being too anxious to please or too tempted to put personal interests first. The story emphasizes the constructive contribution of experience and imagination, especially when it is enriched by on-the-job reflection.
