New development: Public leadership, public value and the public interest

Pages 371-376 | Published online: 04 Aug 2011
 

Abstract

Good public sector leaders understand the limits and opportunities of their role. The governments they serve configure their authorizing environment and the agencies they manage will differ in purpose and function. Within this context, they can add value to government by the quality of the advice they give and the innovation they encourage. Above all else, they need the public interest as their guide and inspiration. It reminds them of their broader accountabilities to the public and their obligation to ensure that proper process and procedures are carried out within government.
