Success at the Heart of Government. Working with Ministers tells the story of Pauline's time as a career civil servant at the heart of the last Conservative Government's industrial policy. It describes her life alongside politicians in the Whitehall jungle as she clawed her way up the career ladder, trying to overtake her administrative colleagues, and recognising that she had to turn her uniqueness to her advantage. There are few senior civil servants who trained as research scientists and chartered engineers and even less have made an impact as an academic, in parallel with success in their civil service career. And these are not women! Her story is peppered with personal anecdotes as well as rare and illuminating technical and policy extracts. Starting from her first policy job as the most junior member of a small team in the Policy and Perspectives Unit, her success quickly led to her managing her own teams and advising on significant budget expenditures.
