Training for Leadership
Geert Bouckaert, Michel S. de Vries
Bruylant
Public Administration Today - Administration publique aujourd'hui
Livre numérique
If the needs for training for leadership are recognized as urgent, we need to
ask whether the training institutes are doing the right things and question
the effectiveness of training institutions.
This book calls for a serious and critical reflection on the way in which we
conceptualize training for leadership in the second decade of the 21st
century.
The different chapters reflect the ideas, theories and practices being
dominant today. The thread of the contents show that something is amiss in
such training. In general it does not have the expected effects and it often
does not address the needs of recipients. The implication is that training for
leadership in the future has to be redefined taking into account the specific
contingencies, problems and complexities, leaders - especially in developing
countries - have to deal with.
Leadership cannot be seen as an isolated factor. The different chapters in
this book argue that training for effective leadership and good governance
practices need to be combined. All ask for leadership that is less
hierarchical and more interactive, collaborative, and takes also stakeholders
outside the public sector seriously.
This has serious implications for the question how leadership training is
organized ; the different chapters of this volume address this issue from a
theoretical as well as an empirical point of view : developments in theorizing
about leadership, styles of public sector leadership, leadership in turbulent
times and the importance of contingences on leadership in changing times.
