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.
