A: Leonard D. White is an American administrator, historian and one of the founders of public administration. His Introduction to Public Administration is recognized as the first textbook of public administration, and its publication marks the basic formation of public administration. He made in-depth and valuable research on administrative environment, administrative organization, administrative coordination, personnel management, administrative ethics, administrative regulations and administrative supervision. In his view, administrative coordination is the management behavior of administrative subjects to guide administrative organizations, departments and personnel to establish good cooperative and coordinated relations in order to achieve certain administrative goals, and it is one of the important contents of administrative management, which mainly includes the following aspects:

(1) should be streamlined to reduce the number and difficulty of coordination. White believes that "the difficulty of coordination lies in the increase in the number of administrative units. Therefore, the new trend of modern administrative development is to reduce the number of administrative departments. On the one hand, the administrative units with similar nature of work will be merged, and on the other hand, a variety of independent bureaus will be laid off. "

(2) Establish administrative coordination agencies. He clearly pointed out that "recently, in various activities, it is very difficult for administrative departments to communicate with each other, and this problem is getting more and more serious. In order to achieve mutual coordination among departments, government committees should be set up to promote the effective development of administrative coordination. "

(3) Better coordination results should be obtained through precise coordination adjustment. In White's view, in the process of administrative management, the government should "coordinate the activities of various departments or organs in time to ensure the most economical and effective methods" in order to obtain better coordination effect and improve administrative efficiency.

(4) In the process of coordination, the decision of the Chief Executive is final. White believes that contradictions and even conflicts will inevitably be encountered in administrative management, and all departments always argue their own reasons in the process of coordination. In order to coordinate in time and effectively, he particularly emphasized that the decision of the head is final. However, in case the chief ruling is unreasonable, he can appeal.

(5) Put forward the principle of coordination. He pointed out: "The organizing principle of the coordinating body is that the competent committee will formulate a complete policy for any event to lead the relevant ministries. Planning this policy is attached to a special coordination Committee ... each department has specialized personnel to participate ... to form a coordination part in the joint planning. The implementation of this plan will enable all ministries and commissions to obtain administrative efficiency of cooperation in independent actions. "
