It is probably much easier in the private sector, you'll typically be expected and empowered to produce results and achieve goals. The red tape and foot dragging you find in the public sector doesn't last long, people who perform poorly and block others tend to get swept out. Exceptions being the cable tv providers because they are monopolies and have no motivation to do well, and small businesses where you often have unskilled and inexperienced people leading (think every episode of Kitchen Nightmares you ever saw).
