Synopsis

This book offers a skills-based approach to being an effective managerial leader in the public realm -- someone who both leads and manages and does so with a sense of stewardship for those with whom they work and the larger societal purposes they seek.

To assist in becoming such a leader, the author profiles a range of skills for working with people to develop and implement solutions to achieve public ends. These skills pertain to the three principal domains of the work of public-minded managerial leaders:

people, those who might be led or whose support is needed
politics, how that support can be gained, and
purpose, the larger public goals being sought.

Leading as a Public-Minded Manager is written for anyone who desires to lead and manage with a sense of stewardship for their organization, its people, and the public good – a description that likely fits most managerial leaders regardless of sector.

"What strategies can public managers use to be effective public leaders? Leading as a Public-Minded Manager brings a comprehensive approach to the question, combining real-life examples and an encyclopedic knowledge of research to offer practical and insightful advice relevant for public managers at any level." (Donald Moynihan, McCourt Chair, McCourt School of Public Policy, Georgetown University)
