Raggedyrush,

I couldn't find much more than the following:

M.E. Sharpe, Inc. - Book Information
http://www.mesharpe.com/mall/resultsa.asp?Title=Leadership+of+Public+Bureaucracies%3A+The+Administrator+as+Conservator%2C+Second+Edition

"The global revolution in public management has led many reformers to
call for public managers to reinvent themselves as public
entrepreneurs. Larry D. Terry strongly opposes this view, and in its
place presents an original normative theory of administrative
leadership that integrates legal, sociological, and constitutional
theory. (...)
[A] thoughtful, well-reasoned alternative to public management
orthodoxy and the New Public Management."

"Larry Terry has updated his classic Burkean conservative defense of
bureaucracy and bureaucratic leadership. His is a cogent and
compelling argument on the need to conserve administrative capacity.
Bureaucracy in this view becomes a necessary condition for effective
governance, both now and in the future." -- Kenneth Meier, Texas A & M
University
