Series: Rethinking public administration: Publisher: [S.l.] : Sage Publications, Inc, 1995Description: 231 p. ; 23 cmISBN: 0803971478; 9780803971479DDC classification: 350.00323 Online resources: Amazon.com | Amazon customer reviews Summary: Leadership within public administration is stuck in the `no-man's-land' between political science and organization theory. On the one hand organization theorists promote their particular brand of transformational leadership - the leader sets the basic values of the firm and heroically shapes the culture of the organization. On the other hand political scientists treat public management as a prescribed regiment of strict obedience to elected officials - without values or heroism. This book offers an alternative well-reasoned and viable basis upon which to construct a concept of leadership which is directly and immediately relevant to the practising public administrator.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
