  The role and requirements of the chief executive in local government are changing rapidly in the 1990s. Written by Professor Morphet, Director of Technical Services, Woking Borough Council, the book deals with the nature of the chief executive's job and its changing context within local authorities. Analysis of the individual skills and experience required by chief executives is coupled with an examination of how the job interacts with other key government players, including council members, chief officers and central government. The book also covers the issues of women's careers in local government at senior level.
