Offering a comprehensive review of leadership theories in the field, from the classic to the cutting-edge and how they relate specifically to the public sector context, this textbook covers the major competency clusters in detail, supported by research findings as well as practical guidelines for improvement. It is an essential core text designed specifically with upper-level and graduate Public Administration courses on leadership in mind but it has also proven an indispensable guidebook for professionals seeking insight into the role of successful leadership behavior in the public sector. It can further be used as supplementary reading in introductory courses examining management competencies, in leadership classes to provide practical self-help and improvement models and in Organizational Theory classes that wish to balance organizational perspectives with individual development.
