From the first lines, we find a school that is not right, walking on the head. Critics are numerous: stakeholders (there is no fixed ny teacher Lena) who discovered the subject of the course that they are supposed to give pupils a few minutes before the start of it, about which they are absolutely not specialists; a permanent race for highly (even flirting with the limits of lethic and corruption); low blows of coupon mates for output classification; the rigidity of the institution practices; small arrangements of the students raised by the former to the rank of traditions and well known management to maximize their benefits paid out of public money The book is full of these examples dincohérence and dishonesty.
Critics around the institution founded in 1945 however, are not new. "Lénarchie" has often been singled out. LENA has sometimes been threatened. But has always survived. So the story of the adventures quapporte Dolivier Saby during these 27 months of training? We distinguish in his speech hesitating between indignation and resignation, a real desire to restore its credentials to Lena. Sil criticism, often in a humorous way, through the Strasbourg, this book is filled with tracks for a comprehensive reform of Lena, a reform that would be respectful of their initial values. If students are outside dambition, this is partly because they are placed in competition dintegration the weekend at the famous amphi-garrison. While most managers and trainers do not see the inconsistencies of the system is because they are locked in their administrative traditions.
But the adventures of young technocrat not only show us the excesses of his school. During the 4 mandatory courses of his schooling (ambassadors in local authority, a department and a company), we discover the world of the high administration, its networks, its customs and anecdotes. And we again clear aback. Between bad atmosphere, power struggles, resentment and inordinate ambition, drawn portrait is not famous. Even if everything is not so black. So Olivier Saby draws us a picture of many competent persons wishing to do their best, despite the bureaucracy. And quavec shows a new and pragmatic view, it is possible daméliorer the daily operation of state services (beyond the famous RGPP invoked indiscriminately!).
This book should be read by all the ViaMichelin candidates in the competition of Lena. Not to discourage, but to demystify the world that they want to integrate. Let them know in advance what they are sengagent. And that they can help this great institution to reform.
