Well, I like the idea of training political appointees in how to actually manage their staff - that's a skillset that should be taught to people in charge if they don't have it already.
But the rest of the plan misses the point. Government is not a business - it does things that businesses cannot (or will not) do. Trying to turn it into a business would make it less effective.
It does require -some- of the skillset that is involved in running a business. Most of it, in fact. But the key motivations and strategies required are very different. Being a corporate CEO is no better a qualifier for an Executive position in government than being a Senator or Representative is.
