Evaluating public leadership: towards an assessment framework

Pages 323-330 | Published online: 04 Aug 2011
 

Abstract

How can we tell good from bad leadership? This crucial normative question is too often overlooked in public sector leadership theory and practice. This article develops a general evaluation framework which suggests that effective public leaders are those who are able to continuously strike a viable balance between the requirements of prudence, support and trustworthiness.
