"If we can put a man on the moon . . ." we can do anything, right?

The saying might be cliche, but it's the impetus behind a new book -- just out today -- If We Can Put a Man on the Moon: Getting Big Things Done in Government.

The book was co-authored by William Eggers, global director for Deloitte Research and executive director of Deloitte's Public Leadership Institute and John O'Leary, executive editor of Better, Faster, Cheaper and a Research Fellow at the Ash Institute of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.

Eggers tells Chris and Amy all about it.
