Book Transforming Public Leadership for the 21st Century

Download or read book Transforming Public Leadership for the 21st Century written by Ricardo S. Morse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forces of globalization are shifting our world, including the public sector, away from hierarchy and command and control toward one of collaboration and networks. The way public leadership is thought about and practiced must be, and is being, transformed. This volume in the "Transformational Trends in Governance & Democracy" series explores what the shift looks like and also offers guidance on what it should look like. Specifically, the book focuses on the role of "career leaders" - those in public service - who are agents of change not only in their own organizations, but also in their communities and policy domains. These leaders work in network settings, making connections and collaborating to create public value and advance the common good. Featuring the insights of an authoritative group of contributors, the volume offers a mix of scholarship, from philosophical discussions to conceptual models to empirical studies that, taken together, will help inform the transformation of public leadership that is already underway.

Book Leadership for the Twenty First Century

Download or read book Leadership for the Twenty First Century written by Joseph Rost and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1993-02-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illuminating study critiques the concept of leadership as understood in the last 75 years and looks to the twenty-first century for a reconstructed understanding of leadership in the postindustrial era. More similarities in past decades were found than had been thought; the thread throughout Rost's book is that leadership was conceived of as good management. He develops a new definition and paradigm for leadership in this volume that distinguishes leadership from management in fundamental ways. The ethics of leadership from a postindustrial perspective completes the paradigm. The book concludes with suggestions that can be immediately utilized in helping to transform our understanding of leadership.

Book 21st Century Public Leadership

Download or read book 21st Century Public Leadership written by Caroline Covell and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No role is more important than the role of a leader. Many people want to become public leaders because of the power, the privilege and the celebrity status attached to it. Weak men and women are occupying the highest positions in the bureaucracy - little men in big jobs, but are ignorant of the conditions required for public leadership position. They come and go as they please like a "fly by night" or are "pass-by" leaders, who are shifted continuously from left to right and to the center uncontrollable because they do not have the foundation. They are men without characters, spineless, and big on words but very little in doing. Though many try to lead using their former experience, and they mobile from one public organization to another and continuously restructuring the organizations they lead as an effort to bring efficiency to the government. But, the new system they implement is one that is similar to their former organization, one they are familiar with. Most failed before they even started. As they move to the other organization, they leave a wreckage behind because the new one will follow the predecessor. The contemporary leadership is about a process - mimicking or following what others do in the environment.Leadership in the public sector and the private sector is indeed different in every aspect. Although the contemporary leading theorists try to equalize or generalize them, they will never be the same. They cannot be equalized or generalized. Even a small comparison can be dangerous. Public leadership is not about telling others or to command others what to do, but about serving fellow citizens - serving people we do not know. It is "love in actions" principle. It is about trust and confidence in our technical capacity and competency, knowledge expertise, personality traits, and the qualities that we have to take care of the economic and social welfare of our fellow beings. Being a leader without personality traits makes leadership impossible. Public leadership requires all qualities.Leadership is critical to a good government. It is developed over time through formal and informal education, as well as professional experience in the bureaucratic setting. No one can become a public leader as soon as after a political election. The person must go through the development process. This process is important to give the person a strong foundation that enables him to accept the grace that comes with the authority and responsibilities. It enables him to become a leader who has the skills, know the roles and functions of leadership and be able to apply them in his daily tasks, and mastering the tasks. This process transforms his attitudes, behaviors, words of expressions, and patterns of thinking. He is no longer thinking "I," "my," or "mine", but "we," "us," and "ours."We are in great need of public leaders, who have the foundations, wisdom to discern and possess all qualities. Ones who always think "What can I do for the country" and able to take care of the welfare of the people, because, as Thomas Jefferson said, "It is the job of the government to take care of the welfare of the people.""21st Century Public Leadership" gives the unique qualities required for the leadership positions. These qualities are developed over time through formal and informal education."21st Century Public Leadership" gives a unique guide that helps those who are inspired to be public leaders to prepare themselves, build the foundations and develop their leadership skills that enable them to lead successfully and democratically. If the modern leaders do not have job descriptions, this "21st Century Public Leadership" gives them the descriptions of job they should do in a democratic setting. No man is a one-man band. This inspiring guide gives the key foundation that helps a person prepare himself to be an excellent leader, be respected and loved leader because he loves the people first.
