Effective Management by Managing for Results

1. Provide governmentwide leadership, direction, and commitment for
effective management of the executive branch. (2)

The President should publicly articulate his vision and support for the
concepts embodied in "managing for results" and the recommendations of
the National Performance Review (NPR). This statement of commitment
would:

Express the administration's vision for 21st century government based on
the philosophy of "managing for results," the recommendations of the
NPR, and the principles of strategic and quality management required for
the "Presidential Award for Quality," and

Direct agencies to commit to full implementation of NPR's
recommendations.(15)

This commitment would supersede Executive Order 12637 of April 27, 1988,
"Productivity Improvement Program in the Federal Government," which the
President should revoke by separate Executive Order.(16)
