0 someone who has just started to work for an organization and intends to make a lot of changes: --
As has already been said, he is a new broom.
One sees it in every walk of life; the new broom wants to find something to sweep.
We might have demonstrated the scenic effects of the sweeping of a national new broom.
Would he not like to use his new broom to sweep away these regulations and give these people greater control over their own internal affairs?
Would he, if necessary, take on the rôle of the new broom in regard to this organisation?
An entirely new broom is to come in to deal with this whole problem.
Yes, but we have a new broom and a fresh mandate.
The new broom thesis, then, may explain why public sector reforms stagnate, but cannot on its own explain why and how they are initiated and sustained.
