New Public Leadership: Making a Difference from Where We Sit

Autor Douglas F. Morgan, Marcus D. Ingle, Craig W. Shinn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 aug 2018
Most leadership literature stems from and focuses on the private sector, emphasizing personal qualities that bind leaders and followers to a shared purpose. As the authors of New Public Leadership argue, if these shared purposes do not build trust and legitimacy in public institutions, such traditional leadership tropes fall short of the standard demanded by contemporary public servants. For twenty years the authors have been developing a leadership education and training framework specifically designed to encourage public service professionals to ‘lead from where they sit.’ This book presents that comprehensive, integrated, and practical leadership framework, grounded in the uniqueness of public legal missions, culture, history and values.
The authors explore three key elements of leadership success: 1) an understanding of our public service context, including the history, the values and the institutions that comprise our leadership setting, 2) a set of tools designed to help leaders initiate collective action in wicked challenge settings, and 3) tools to support sound judgment, enabling leaders to do the right thing in the right circumstances for the right reasons. The authors further provide readers with a basic understanding of democratic institutions, encouraging them to work within and across multiple vertical and horizontal systems of authority. The book is organized into four sections, each of which is accompanied by a Master Case that provides the reader with an opportunity to apply the principles and leadership tools discussed in the text to practice. To further reinforce the practice-centered approach to leadership knowledge and skills, the authors have developed an accompanying EMERGE Leadership Handbook, complete with exercises, available online. Written specifically with the practicing public manager in mind, this book arms public servants with a large repertoire of leadership skills, designed to accommodate changing public values and conflicting priorities at all levels of our public organizations.

Recenzii

"New Public Leadership is a 'must read.' It confronts readers with the complex reality that effective, ethical leading for the public good is an honor and privilege but also an unprecedented challenge. Leadership approaches adapted from the private sector inform but cannot prepare public leaders for the types of challenges they will confront. The dramatic change from expertise-centered production of services to co-production in a shared governance context with community partners in businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies at all levels requires a deep understanding of the moral ends that build trust and legitimacy in public institutions. The authors provide practical advice about improving public leadership using an artful blend of theory and their own decades of experience working hand-in-hand with public leaders." – J. Steven Ott, University of Utah, USA
 
"It may sound absurd to many, but if the deep political rifts in American society, indeed in many societies today, are to heal, ordinary public servants must lead the way. Doug Morgan, Marcus Ingle, and Craig Shinn have provided the essential roadmap to that desirable future in New Public Leadership. The deep respect they show for the critical and deeply honorable action of public leadership, and the grounding they provide in the historical, political, and moral context of public leadership, ensures that the book will have an enduring impact on the students, scholars, and practitioners who will, each in their own way, become the leaders their fellow citizens need." – Brian J. Cook, Virginia Tech, USA
