The government is not a business though. You are not trying to maximize profit, you are trying to create policy.
The government is not a business though. You are not trying to maximize profit, you are trying to create policy.
You also need to create and manage a budget, hire people and make sure they perform and many other things that are just like a business.

If you have experience with those things in the private sector it without a doubt has value in government.
What experience is that, stiffing contractors, employees and losing legal battles with biographers?
