商品簡介
Morse (public administration and government, U. of North Carolina) and Buss (program director, National Academy of Public Administration) state that public sector leadership is in crisis. The public's confidence in government is low, traditional ways of conducting business are becoming obsolete, and the quality of public services is declining. Noting that it simply is not true that leaders are born and in short supply, they contend that effective leaders must be developed if the public sector is to meet its obligations to constituents and citizens. The editors and their 23 contributors offer many innovative training and development innovations that are now being used to train those leaders. Topics include changing conceptions of public leadership, leadership and collaboration, global public leadership, and approaches to leadership development.
