I've never seen a postal employee strive for excellence; or a DoD worker strive to puchase goods efficiently. I only see private charities (e.g. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) or for-profit firms (e.g. Disney Institute) achieve this sort of greatness. Did you notice that Obama and other leader-type government workers won't send their children to government schools? I agree with you that the future truly does require a multidisciplinary, cross-thinking - and that includes completely new models that don't necessarily include government politics.
