Abstract
The changing nature and increased complexity of governing is well documented and discussed by scholars and practitioners alike. This article presents a leadership training program designed to respond to the changing needs of local government officials. The design is based on current literature and research, fieldwork in North Carolina, and shared faculty knowledge and experiences. The model presents the integration of three critical concepts: governance, leadership and public service, in teaching conducted for multiple audiences representing varied levels within local governments. Initial results and findings are presented.
