What is meant by effective leadership in the public sector?

To what extent does this concern the leadership of individuals, groups, organizations, society, ideas and cultures?

In what way is effective public sector leadership complicated by the political environment, and the need to respond to and work with the demands and constraints imposed by government policy?

The topics addressed by the authors span leadership and management issues in local government, employee participation in organization change, leadership in education, and linkages between innovation and leadership.
